Hi, As Miklos says, I'm not actively working on the starmath module anymore... But feel free to CC me on any questions/problems you run into. I'm still on the mailing-list but I don't manage to read everything/anything, so CC me if you want to reach me.

The experimental formula editor is quite complicated because the "abstract" syntax tree it operates on is more concrete than abstract. In order to observe how the formula object tree looks and is changed, you might want to take a look at: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/starmath/workben/smath-dump-watch.sh > Also, could someone give some pointers on where all this stuff is > located in the code? Key input is handled in http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/starmath/source/view.cxx#n422 When handling key input an instance of SmCursor is used to modify the tree, SmCursor is defined in: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/starmath/source/cursor.cxx You can get an overview of how the visual formula editor works from my presentation at OpenSuSE conference 2010: http://jonasfj.dk/downloads/GSoC2010/slide-osc10.pdf WARNING: The visual formula editor is quite complicated, in fact over complicated. As I said before this is a result of the abstract syntax tree not being very abstract. Ideally, I think the nodes that make up the formula object tree should be refactored. If you look at my slides you'll see that a line in the formula editor is not a list of elements, but a tree consisting of binary operator nodes. So when editing a line, it is parsed into a LineList which is a list of elements. Then the LineList is modified and a tree consisting of binary operator nodes is constructed from it. This is quite horrible, ideally, a line should be a single node consisting of a list of elements. But refactoring this seemed quite scary to me at the time... -- Regards Jonas Finnemann Jensen.
