@Takeshi -- assume some your recent work on the formula editor will be back
ported?
It has been already cherry-picked for libreoffice-5-2 branch.
Running for libreoffice-5-2-0 now:
<https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/27329/>, but is too late for RC3.
Thanks, that will be helpful.
Also, what are your thoughts on default behavior to be set with
GreekCharStyle now that it seems to be functioning correctly?
I think setting GreekCharStyle to 2 works again now and will be helpful as a
workaround.
At the same time, I am afraid if changing the default value of
GreekCharStyle may cause confusion for some users.
For example, given an .odf saved with the old setting, reopening it and
changing GreekCharStyle via Expert Configuration cannot modify the value in
the document.
Seems like our mode "0" with the OpenSymbol rework at OOo 3.3. caused a lot of
issues--encouraging direct entry of "%iSYMBOL" or {italic SYMBOL} formatting.
But then, the mode "1" alternative of all italics (for lower & upper case
SYMBOLs) has continued to function, but also had issues of needing to use
nitalic format.
With return of mode "2"--with lower case sybols to italic, and upper case
nitalic--we could really offer the most generally appealing/appropriate default
for handling Greek symbols in StarMath markup.
And if we were to set a mode "2" default, doing it now at the 5.2.0 release
would be the perfect time. It has been missing since 3.5 releases, and would be
reasonable as a reintroduced feature, coupled with a new default behavior for
the Formula Editor.
For handling existing documents, it looks like in
https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=113276#c12 Thomas Lange had provided
a basic script for converting the StartMath in existing documents to match the
selection made for GreekCharStyle mode. Expect it needs a little clean-up, but
something similar could be provided for users to offer a reformat of the
StarMath to match a change in mode of the GreekCharStyle property. Would avoid
a lot of hand editing of the content.xml of the OLE formuals or ODF Formula
documents.
