Description Viktor Mileikovskyi 2026-01-03 12:04:16 UTC
Description:
I need to create a bar chart for different plants. It's good practice to write genus and species italicized, and both abbreviations and cultivar names non-italicized. But it requires in both Chart and Calc some workarounds, which are usually broken when transferring to other PC on after many upgrades of the OS/LO. Please make it possible in new versions to format the x-axis labels individually or to use HTML/LaTeX formatting.

Steps to Reproduce:
Try to write in any diagram (Chart of Calc) some plant cultivar such as (in HTML format)
                    <em>Dracaena fragrans</em> &apos;Massangeana&apos;
It's impossible to write this in the formatting above, but very important for theses, monographs, etc.

Actual Results:
It's impossible in any way

Expected Results:
"Dracaena fragrans" - italicized;
Massangeana - normal font


Reproducible: Always

This will make LO the best software for biologists
