 Andras Timar 2012-09-19 09:35:51 UTC Created attachment 67370 [details] scanned image of the formula It is impossible to typeset the attached formula in Math, while it is possible in LaTeX: \documentclass[12pt]{article} \usepackage{amsmath} \begin{document} $\rlap{\overbrace{\phantom{a+b}}^x}a +\underbrace{b+c}_y$ \end{document} The formatting command like \rlap is missing from Math. Owen Genat (retired) 2013-11-13 03:28:28 UTC Created attachment 89113 [details] Screenshot showing formula and rendering in v4.1.3.2. I am confirming this bug. Status set to NEW. There remains no elegant way to typeset the indicate formula in Math. Attached is a screenshot (taken under Crunchbang 11 linux running v4.1.3.2) showing an inelegant workaround, but the line spacing remains too great. Formula in the screenshot: stack { alignl { { phantom { a "+" b } } overbrace x } # a "+" b "+" c # alignr { { phantom { b "+" c } } underbrace y } } Owen Genat (retired) 2014-03-15 23:03:14 UTC Summary edited for clarity. dante19031999 2020-06-28 12:04:54 UTC You're right, but I'm not sure it can be implemented with the starmath actual system. dante19031999 2020-07-04 04:44:17 UTC I've been making further research on the matter. The nodes system may support it, but not the parser. Maybe it can be done. I'll try to do it, but gonna take at least one month.
