Re: [libreoffice-users] Code line continuation arrow
Hi :) Does Writer do colour-coding of the various different types of code? I usually use a text-editor such as Gedit, Kate or SciTe or something to get all of that.

The lines are long and wrap around and I'm looking for the special character 'curved arrow' that is used to indicate that it's a continuation line and not a new line of code. I don't see it in the Special Characters table. The first thing to realise is that what you see in this table is font-dependent: you will find more possibilities in some fonts than others. On my Windows system, for example, I find the DejaVu fonts include more characters than most. Does anyone know if there's a way to insert this character? Try these Unicode characters: 21A9: Leftwards arrow with hook 21B2: Downwards arrow with tip leftwards 21B5: Downwards arrow with corner leftwards 2936: Arrow pointing downwards then curving leftwards 2938: Right-side arc clockwise arrow Note that you need to pay attention to whether any such characters will be rendered properly in a word processor document on any other system, no matter how similar. You may have more success by exporting your document as PDF and distributing that. I trust this helps.

[libreoffice-users] Code line continuation arrow
I'm entering some code lines in a LO Writer document. The lines are long and wrap around and I'm looking for the special character 'curved arrow' that is used to indicate that it's a continuation line and not a new line of code. I don't see it in the Special Characters table. Does anyone know if there's a way to insert this character? Or even better, if there's some macro of something that will insert it wherever the line of code happens to break, depending on how the document is otherwise formatted?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Spreadsheets not keeping correct formulas and showing jewish?
Hi Brian Thanks for your help, our studies on other cultures at school was very vague, and as of yet, never needed to understand another calendar.. It could possibly be a red herring like you say, i just put 2 and 2 together, and came up with 5, maybe i should have used a spreadsheet :D Im running LO 3.4.4 on my works imac, and checking its a USA interface, UK Locale & Currency setting... Just loaded up the document, and just checking the first sheet, the formulas seem to have been saved, and work ok, ill just keep an eye on it, and see what else happens.

I understand that the NNNDDD etc are not stored with in the format, but just wondered where the jewish annotations came into effect? If I understand you correctly, these are just appearing as possible formats in the Format Cells dialogue. If so, I don't think you should be too worried about them. I don't claim to understand all the aspects of locale settings, which exist separately for operating systems (including individual user settings) as well as for applications, such as LibreOffice. If Calc thinks you might be helped by these offerings but you don't need them, there is no problem I can see the top reference in the list of pre-set annotations mentioned above is [~jewish]D , and in the format box it is "Friday 22 Tevet 5760" ... That corresponds to Gregorian 31 December 1999, which is the date used for all format examples in the Format Cells dialogue. ... and in the preview box it is "Monday 9 Tammuz 5774", i don't even know if that's correct? That's Monday 7 July 2014 in the Gregorian calendar, i.e. today. ... or if the Jewish calendar works on a different format? Well, yes: it has a different origin, of course - a point in 3761 BC by the Gregorian calendar - as well as different month names, which don't correspond with Gregorian months since they are generally shorter and need additional "intercalary" months every two or three years to keep the calendar in step with the solar year. I have also as a test just copied the cell into a new spreadsheet, and it took over the jewish annotation? By default, pasting carries over formats as well as values. You can suppress this using Paste Special... . I was just looking for insights as to whether anyone else has had the problem? i just don't want to go much further, and lose the lot, ... The question of available formats doesn't affect your use of the spreadsheet, does it? I suspect it is a red herring and may have no connection with the other corruption you mentioned (about which I have no comment).
