Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 12311
grouping of brackets an "newline" command.
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:54:45 UTC
it seems that you cannot use the "newline" command inside a pair of grouped brackets e.g. left [ bla newline right ] doesn't work. this does restrict scalable brackets to the size of one line. using standalone brackets with "size" is no alternative since these do not get positioned correctly with regard to fractions.
It does not limit the scalebale brackets to one line since you can use the "stack" command. E.g. "left [ stack{ a # b # c} right ]". However it would be nice if the parser will accept the mentioned construct. Target set to OO 2.0 since there is no lack of functional ability.
.
TL->BH: Desirable but will take a bit of time. Please have a look if it mets a PCD.
Set OS to all.
I consider this as useful. Hello Thomas, please give approval for this evaluated OO.o 2.0 flagged issue. If you confirm with the target OO.o 2.0, then please keep it on your owner (or the owner of the concerning developer) for implementation. In case you want this issue for 'OOo Later', then please reset the target milestone. If you decline the issue finally, please set the resolution to 'Wontfix' (but do not close). In case of 'OOo Later' or 'Wontfix' please reset it on Bettina's owner. Thank you.
TL->BH: Target changfed to OO later. I've already too many other tasks and hand for the next release.
TK->BH: back to you for the time being.
You can achieve this effect by using the command "none": left[ bla right none newline left none blabla right] The point is that brackets must be closed in the same line, but there is no need to close them with another bracket: using "none" is fine. Maybe the problem is not with "newline", maybe the problem is with the documentation of "none" (take a look in the OOo Math forum at http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewforum.phtml?f=6 ...)
Ups! I misreaded the original problem, sorry... This is not about break a line with brackets, but to surround many lines with only a pair of brackets... My fault... By the way, using stack (or matrix) is a fine solution, though. Sorry again
