Description: In a formula, not all characters should have the same distance. Currently, we can set a minimum space for the whole equation and create variation by inserting "`" or "~" between entities. In practice, only few characters in an equation will have the minimum distance, e.g. "%DELTA T" --> "ΔT", while the majority of pairings need a somewhat bigger distance. So we need a lot of distance characters to make it read-friendly, which makes the code hard to read. The suggestion is, to introduce a control character that reduce the spacing a bit from the standard spacing, e.g. "´". Another possible solution would be to introduce an editable list of characters, like %delta %DELTA, for which a separate standard spacing to the following entity can be defined, as to have a harmonious look and source good code readability at the same time. thx for your brillant work! Steps to Reproduce: 1. Write formula in writer math equation editor containing characters, that should have different spacings between them. Actual Results: Have to find a compromise for standard spacing or work with small standard spacing and a lot of space-*adding* control characters ( ` ~ ). Expected Results: Possibility to set a good standard spacing for most of the spaces and *reduce* spacing for the few items, which need a smaller spacing. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: see expected results
Hmm, might be useful. But can't we already control the itra-variable 'Spacing' value for a node by reducing it from its default 10%? While the ( ` and ~ ) markups are there to increase spacing.
i know of no way to control single spacings.
