Description: In LibreOffice Writer, when you hit "F2", you get the formula input box. Writer uses "<>" in the formula, for example: for the sume of range "B1:B4" of a table in writer, you should input "=sum<B1:B4>". However, on the help wiki: https://help.libreoffice.org/Writer/Formula_Bar The screenshot example is showing "=sum(B1:B4)". This is misleading. In fact, when you input "=sum(B1:B4)", Writer will show the error message "** Expression is faulty **".
This is an easy bug, so I set it to NEW by myself.
Created attachment 103458 [details] the correct rechenlt.png The image is at this location: libreoffice/artwork/default_images/res/helpimg/rechenlt.png I should learn how to make a patch.
Actually, the current image: https://help.libreoffice.org/File:Rechenlt.png was taken within Calc, not Writer.
Joel: Do you have a minute to do this? Thanks
