Additional bracketing is needing in the StarMath O lsup { 2- {} } or alternative O lsup { 2"-"}
How to suggest improvement to manual
Created attachment 128205 [details] extent of chemical formula documentation in MG 4.4 https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/2/26/MG44-MathGuide.pdf https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications @Regina, @Jean, * -- What are your thoughts on extending documentation/samples for chemical equations in StarMath syntax. Nothing in the GS, and the MG44 entry is a bit thin.
Converting to a documentation bug. OP had issues with syntax for Isotope entry in StarMath. The samples in the MG44 help, but are too few. Perhaps some additional LOCALHELP/Online Help article support, and as well should expand the Math Guide coverage?
