Currently inserting an equation takes many steps, and
placing equations properly in text is difficult.
I think a big improvement would be to allow the direct
conversion of text into an inline equation. The steps would
be:
1. Write some text in, say, a list. Among the writted text
is markup for an equation.
2. Highlight the equation markup
3. Execute, either from the menus or from a keyboard shortcut,
a "Convert to Equation" command.
The result should be an in-line equation, embedded properly at
the correct position in the text, with a size, color, etc.
appropriate for the current text style.
A few of us have been trying to prepare equation-heavy presentations
using Impress, and we think it's very close to being easily usable.
The equations look good, and the command set is so close to latex
that it is easy for people to learn. The only impediment is that
entering equations currently takes far too many key/mouse strokes
compared to TeX, in which only dollar signs ($) on either side of
an equation are necessary. Allowing conversion of highlighted text
into an inline equation would significantly reduce the amount of
work necessary to produce equation-heavy slides.
(Sorry if this is a duplicate... I haven't been able to find a
similar bug report / RFE.)
Thanks for the good work!
