Feature Request: Word Wrap in FormulaControl. #382

Open cvdevol opened 1 year ago

cvdevol commented 1 year ago

Is it possible to implement automatic word wrap so that long formulas can be are split up automatically instead of having to manually add a new line \?

I fear that would be a very complex and difficult task. Even TeX itself isn't always able to handle this reliably. I heard that amsmath is able to do that, but it's definitely far ahead of what we have implemented right now.

If it's possible to get the width of the control, the width of the display area and the size of the font, I suppose you could calculate where the line feed should be placed. But you'd have to be careful not to put it in the middle of a LaTex tag or compound structure like a variable and its subscript or some such thing. So yes, it seems quite elaborate. :-(
