| So it is not related to the patch.
|
| Enrico and Jürgen, thanks for your testing.
|
| Summary:
|
| The patch fixes the C-M text->math conversion for all tested cases of
| _valid_ math formulas, with or without delimiters. It has the following
| drawbacks:
| 1) It creates a warning on the console if a formula without delimiters is
| converted.
| 2) It produces invalid results for things that are not really _one_ formula,
| e.g. the mentioned $a$ foo $b$.
|
| 1) is not the case currently in 1.4, but is IMHO a good trade-off wrt the
| currently not working \text{test} conversion.
| 2) is a regression wrt. 1.3, but IMHO not important because this kind of
| pseudo formulas has never been officially supported.
|
| This is IMHO enough data now to make a decision. I'd say that the patch can
| go in, because the advantages clearly outweigh the disadvantages.
|
| Lars, what is your opinion?
Put it in please.
Maintrunk first and then merge the revision to the branch.
