I would like to request that a Libre Math formula layout be created for synthetic division. Reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_division It should look something like this but with the left and bottom line being joined and solid. Generally there is a little down arrow underneath the first coefficient in the top line. f(x)= 2x^4 + 3x^2 + 5x + 1 / (x-2) 2 | 2 0 3 5 1 | 4 8 22 54 ---------------- 2 4 11 27 55 That gives 2x^3 + 4x^2 + 11x + 27 with a remainder of 55. It would be nice if there was a way to do long polynomial division as well. That would likely be a lot trickier to implement though. Thank you
Not clear that MathML support directly, seems to use array of | and returns for the verticals and a hline to close. But if we implement a suitable sm node expect it would need to transform on export to follow the MathML practices.
Regina and Khaled, would be interested to hear you thoughts on this enhancement request.
ODF uses MathML 2.0. We need at least how the requested layout is written in MathML 2.0 before we can think about a way to define a new StarMath markup. So the reporter should provide an MathML 2.0 example.
