Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 11322
Missing curly brackets in matrix examples
Last modified: 2003-05-05 15:42:37 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. Jaime
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?
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'.
FPE->UFI: Please check
already fixed, see bug #10221# *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 10221 ***
verified in SO 6.1 Beta2: all curly brackets are there now.
