Description: Please add an analogues of TeX ! to Math. There is way in Mathml 2.0: https://www.w3.org/TR/MathML2/chapter3.html#presm.mpadded It will help to visually improve formulas. Actual Results: There is no negative space at the moment. Expected Results: A small negative space.

Takeshi: what do you think?
(In reply to Buovjaga from comment #1) > Takeshi: what do you think? So far Math provides no way to express a negative space, so I think this is a valid feature request.
May the update be expected in the 6th version of LO?
(In reply to Vladislav Ivanistsev from comment #3) > May the update be expected in the 6th version of LO? I'm not seeing any update, so I don't know what you are referring to.
Sorry for confusion. I understood that the feature request is valid. I concluded that there would be some update in the code. Please clarify, if a feature request is valid, what shall happen after it is accepted.
(In reply to Vladislav Ivanistsev from comment #5) > Please clarify, if a feature request is valid, what shall happen after it is > accepted. Then any developer can implement it. For example, you can hire someone to do the work.
I would gladly do so. Is there a right way to hire, i.e. a community of programmers who know LO as well as a common way to pay them? Or should I find someone on my own?
Sorry for the off topic. Could you please recommend some webpages, where I could read about bug-fixing and programming of LO. Can I code this feature using python?

Or should I > find someone on my own? Well, Takeshi responding in comment 2 is the one doing the most to improve Math since a long time. So maybe he is interested (you can wait for him to comment or privately contact you). Regarding your other question, this needs to be done in C++.

Great! It is easy to find my contacts on the web.
The hardest part of this issue is to decide which command to represent a negative space, which should be backward compatible and least surprising. ! (exclamation mark) is not so ideal in the sense as existing documents may already contain it for representing e.g. factorial. Any suggestions?
Is there a list of special characters already used in the Formula Editor?
Can %! be used? As I understand the % is an analogue of \ in latex. Then %! looks logical.
