Improve Equation Editor
DRAFT
Concerns: OpenOffice.org 3.x all versions
Objective: currently, the equations editor has some issues (including very old one) and they need to be fixed, because all those issues are a strong brake' for OpenOffice.org acceptance in Education.
Main issues are:
- misalignment
- missing symbols ( |-> , <-| , angle A^B .. etc)
.. (complete me)
FIXME : add the list of concerned issues
Skills: skills with languages C/C++ (tokenization, debugging ) maths symbols and good math knowledge (for equations writing ) is a plus.
Good communication skills are expected too (because several modules are concerned )
Tasks:
Familiarize with the starmath editor code
Familiarize with links in writer (writer is concerned in some issues)
Expected:
For issue 972 ( see link: Math_baseline_alignment )
- code to Implement a new parameter for baseline computation without edit equations
- write specs for add a the info in the .odt format
- design a proof of concept
- implement it
Complete : other little math issues ( e.g. missing |-> and <-| symbols .. etc )
