Package: openoffice.org-math
Version: 1:2.4.0-5
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/oomath
Hey,
I'm trying to set a * as superscript in a formula (this is needed often
in chemistry documents) but I'm failing always. Since this is very
important for chemists I'll set this report to "normal". This is
probably a upstream bug, as I have not enough capazity on my system I'm
unable to test with original upstream packages, sorry.
The error is quite easy to reproduce:
Try to set %my_1^* and you'll end up with an questionmark instead of a
star in the superscript.
Greetings
Winnie

Upstream says:

try %my_1^{"*"}
------- Additional comments from mru Mon May 5 06:41:08 +0000 2008 -------
The parser handles these symbols as operators. Thus it expects operands around.
Use as text as jbfaure proposed.

Closed.
Closing with blessing of submitter.
