------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Jul 29 04:51:45 -0700 2005 ------- You cannot write proper derivation with the formula editor. Writing first, second and third derivation should look like f′ and f″ and f‴, which will be like f' and f'' and f''' but without space, if you use a suitable font. The characters after f are prime (U+2032), second prime (U+2033) and third prime (U+2033). OpenSymbol has non of the characters and StarSymbol only (U+2033). You need this character because the apostroph is not long enough to look proper for the first derivation. The second derivation needs two strokes close to each other. But " is no workaround, because it is delimiter for text. For the third derivation there is no workaround at all. So now you have to find a suitable font and define your own symbols. I would like to have at least the three primes in the OpenSymbol-font and best would be, if they could be inserted direct as attributes and not as named symbols via %. Please have a look at http://www.ooowiki.de/FormeleditorMathematikAnalysisDifferentialrechnung. The text is in German but the pictures under heading "Ableitung" show you the difficulties. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
