Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 18093
Some of valid syntaces are drawn "invalid."

Hi, I'm a stranger to OpenOffice from South Korea. I'm interested in the formula editor. I want to say that for the syntaces drawn invalid in the editor, some of them should be parsed as valid expressions. 1. [x,y) -- or (x,y] These can be used to represent the harf-closed interval. (http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Half-ClosedInterval.html) 2. lbrace without closing rbrace When you list two or more formulas that are related to each other, you probably want to stack{} and embrace them, but don't have to close the brace. 3. newline and = following after A new-line character are prefered to be placed between a sequence of equality. In other words the formula feature would be nice when the parser less strict. Thank You, Puzzlet.

1: left (8;6 right] 2: left lbrace stack{x#y} right none 3: ""(x-3)^2 newline ""=x^2-6x+9 The last one is a workaround. The first "" there is used to force alignment left. The behavior of = should really be improved.
As Regina pounted out, all your enhancement requests work fine in the formula editor. At least an empty expression "" is needed on each side of the equal sign. The parser was designed to operate like this, to make it easier to recognize errors in the formula.
Closed.
