Description jalvarez 2003-02-09 03:34:00 UTC 
In the online help, "examples; math formulas" the example for a matrix shows 
the following syntax:

font sans bold size *1,5 A =left[matrixA_11#A_12#dotsaxis#A_1n##A_21# 
##A_2n##dotsvert###dotsvert##A_n1#A_n2#dotsaxis#A_nnright]

which does not work if you copy and paste it into the command window of the 
formula editor as directed.

After asking at the newsgroup i found out (thanks to James Lee) that it should 
be:

font sans bold size *1.5 A =left[matrix{A_11#A_12#dotsaxis#A_1n##A_21#{} 
#{}#A_2n##dotsvert#{}#{}#dotsvert##A_n1#A_n2#dotsaxis#A_nn}right]

This works fine.

I'm using StarOffice 6.0 PP2 in Win98SE and Red Hat Linux 7.3.

Hello,

I looked into the help distributed with 644m1 and found this issue is 
also there.
Your suggested representation results in the expected formula.

Tested on Windows2000 and RedHat 8.0/643C

Where in the help are you seeing this?
Comment 3 jalvarez 2003-02-26 14:49:20 UTC 
Go to the "Help" menu and select "Contents". At the "Search term" box 
under the "index" tab, write "examples" (without the quote marks) and 
then double click on the "math formulas" entry.
On the right frame you'll see the page "Examples for StarOffice Math" 
with various links to the actual examples. The "Matrix" link leads 
you to the example where the curly brackets are missing. 
I just confirmed that the same happens with the other matrix examples.

Regards 
Jaime

Hello, folks,

I noticed we can also get there in the Help -> Contents window (644m1),
by clicking 'Contents' tab,
Formulas -> General Information and UI Usage
-> OpenOffice.org Math Features
then clicking 'samples' in the second paragraph displayed,
and clicking 'Matrix'.

verified in SO 6.1 Beta2: all curly brackets are there now.
