I would like to see semantic markup in LibreOffice. By that I mean constructing formulae using distinct markup for distinct concepts, even if the rendering is identical. Similarly, I would like the ability to generate MATHML content rather than MATHML presentation. Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz http://mason.gmu.edu/~smetz3
ODF is largely semantic markup. What do you miss? Unless someone pays developers, it is unlikely that content MathML will be implemented. It requires a total new internal representation and new rendering engine. The ODF file format would allow it.

My primary concern is with the formula editor. The symbols available for formulae are largely glyphs rather than abstract mathematical objects. Missing are symbols with the explicit semantics of, e.g., function composition, group multiplications. Were this available, I would expect that multiple symbols would be rendered with the same glyp.
(In reply to Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz from comment #3) > My primary concern is with the formula editor. So I change the subject. It is a valid enhancement request. But because it has to be developed from scratch, it is unlikely, that it will be solved in near future; unless you find a sponsor for it. The request has the parts: Rendering an object with "Content MathML" content Providing an editor for "Content MathML" But only if someone is actually working on it, it is worth to split the task. From a file format point of view there are no problems. ODF allows all kind of MathML.
