I am trying this out, but find the instructions hopelessly inadequate and confusing. First, the how-to on the wiki says to "select the <icon> from the toolbar," but the image on the wiki doesn't match any icons I have in the toolbar on Scribus 1.3.5NG. However, I do have an icon labeled "TEX." I selected the "TEX" icon and placed a frame, which immediately displayed "Render Error." Right clicking on the frame and then on Edit Source got me a popup window with some sample code and a bunch of tabs. The sample code does not produce a formula (Status: Error). And I failed to grasp the functions of the things in the tabs, except perhaps they are to give hints on the code to use to enter those items. Then I read what is in the wiki, but failed to get a formula to work. What I need to create is what is called in OOo a stack. Consider that the brackets in the following are all one big tall bracket encompassing all the items in the stack: [ sometext ] [ some more text ] [ yet more text ] Sometimes my stacks have only one item, sometimes as many as seven. I need the brackets to scale. If there is someone here familiar with math syntax in Latex, could you give me the syntax to create the above? Once I have the correct syntax for one formula I'm sure I can change it for additional formulas. I also need to figure out how to assign fonts, but one step at a time.
