I just wanted to point out that it is easier to use the stack+align commands rather than the matrix command to obtain a required alignment workaround e.g., stack { alignl { 4x - 2 = 0 } ~~~"|" + 2 # alignl { 4x = 2 } } or stack { alignr { 4x - 2 = 0 ~~~"|" + 2 } # alignr { 4x = 2 phantom { ~~~"|" + 2 } } } The second is still inelegant, due to the need for identically sized comments. Anyway, hope that helps. |
I love the LO Forumla editor! I use it every day in math lessons to write formulas while talking! In my case, short expressions are necessary to speed up formula editing. (I'm not sure if this is the right place for wishes - if yes, I'd be happy to make 3 out of this one, if necessary) Problem description: could you please make brackets automatically be scaleable? why differ between ( and left(, or is for example "right rline" really necessary? Wouldn't be rline enough? Or how about just mline for all lines (we could use {mline x mline} for example. This is just one expression which makes me curious - there are a lot more! Another thing I would love to have is a "operatorline with spaces" (I use ~~~"|" atm) which is necessary to put explainations behind a formula. Example: 4x-2=0 ~~~"|" +2 newline 4x=2 An often wanted thing: Alignment along = Symbol, i know, I'd prefer an orientation along a custom string. (in my case alignment along ~~~"|" would often be helpfull) I know about the "workaround" with matrixes - but this is really horrible Steps to reproduce: 1. .... 2. .... 3. ....
