Time	Narration
00:00	Welcome to the Spoken tutorial on LibreOffice Math.
00:04	In this tutorial, we will cover the following topics:
00:08	Mark up language for writing formula and formula formatting-Fonts Alignment and Spacing.
00:18	In the last tutorial, we introduced the mark up language for Math.
00:24	Now, let us learn more about Mark up language.
00:28	Let us first open a Writer document and then call the 'Math' application, inside Writer.
00:35	If Writer is already open then click on the Insert menu at the top and then click on Object and choose Formula.
00:46	If Writer is not open, we can invoke it from the Windows Start menu.
00:55	Using the Elements window is a very easy method of writing a formula.
01:01	But directly writing the mark-up language in the Formula Editor is a faster way of writing a formula.
01:10	Because, mark-up language for a formula resembles the way we would read the formula in English.
01:18	For example- to write 4 into 3, we just need to type in the Formula Editor window "4 times 3".
01:28	Before we go to the next example, let us insert a blank line here.
01:36	Simply type the markup "newline" and notice that a new line is inserted in the Writer gray box area.
01:46	Let us type: "Some more example formulae: newline".
01:52	For readability, we will press the Enter key once
01:57	and write: x greater than equal to y.
02:03	Here, we will also number the formula.
02:07	So, we will type: 1. x greater than equal to y new line. Press Enter.
02:18	Notice, the Writer gray-box has refreshed and the contents are centered.
02:25	Next, let us write: a to the power of 10.
02:30	And the markup is: 2. a arrow pointing upward 10 new line and press Enter.
02:42	Notice the mathematical symbol in the Writer gray-box.
02:48	Now, let us write: square root of 16 = 4.
02:55	Type: 3. sqrt 16 within curly brackets equals 4 new line. Press Enter.
03:06	Notice this formula in the Writer gray-box.
03:10	Alright, now let us write a summation symbol for a suffix n, to denote a1 + a2 + a3 so on + an.
03:28	And the markup is: 4. sum a underscore n new line. Press Enter.
03:37	Now, let us try an integral with a function. To write Integral f x dx, the markup is: 5. int f(x) dx newline
03:54	and notice the integral symbol in the Writer area.
04:00	Let us save our work now. Go to File menu at the top, click on Save.
04:09	Name the document as "MathExample1".
04:15	Now, let us learn how to format the formulae we wrote .
04:21	Notice that they are all centered and don’t have a lot of space in between them.
04:28	We can use the Format menu at the top for making various format changes.
04:35	Let us first align all the formulae to the left.
04:40	For this, let us click on Format menu and choose Alignment.
04:46	In the new window, choose the Left option and click on the OK button.
04:54	Notice that the formulae are left aligned now.
04:58	We can change the font style by choosing Fonts under the Format menu.
05:06	Notice the various categories here.
05:10	We can set one type of font for variables, another type for functions, another for numbers and text.
05:23	To modify the font style, click on the Modify button and choose the category Variables.
05:34	Let us choose 'Arial Black' in the list-box and click on the OK button.
05:43	And let us save the font by clicking on the OK button here.
05:50	Now, notice the font changes in the Writer gray-box.
05:56	To increase the font size of the formulae, go to Format menu and click on Font Size .
06:06	Let us increase the Base size to ‘18 point’. Click on OK.
06:16	We can change the relative sizes of other categories such as the text or indexes or operators.
06:25	We can also use the Default button to undo all the font-size changes we made.
06:32	Notice, the font-size changes in the formulae.
06:37	Next, let us make changes to the spacing of the formulae.
06:42	Click on Format menu and choose Spacing.
06:48	Let us change the Spacing, Line spacing and Root spacing, each to 20 percent.
06:56	As we click on each spacing type, the image in the centre shows the location of the spacing type.
07:05	Again, we can choose spacing types from the various categories. To do this, let us click on the Category button.
07:16	Or, use the Default button to undo our changes.
07:22	Let us click on the OK button now.
07:25	And notice the spacing changes in the Writer gray-box.
07:30	More formatting is available in the Elements window.
07:35	Let us bring up the Elements window from the View menu.
07:40	Here, let us click on the last icon in the second row of Categories.
07:47	The tool tip here says ‘Formats’.
07:51	Here, we can choose placements of Subscripts and Superscripts, Alignments, Matrix, New Lines and Gaps.
08:03	Let us introduce a long gap in the fifth example, after the number 5. Click after 5.
08:13	Then from the Elements window, click on Formats > Long Gap.
08:20	The mark up for long gap is the ‘tilde’ character. And for the short gap, it is ‘Tiray’ character.
08:29	Notice the new gap after the number 5.
08:33	So, these are the ways we can format our formulae.
08:38	Feel free to explore all the formatting options which Math provides.
08:44	Okay, here is an assignment for you:
08:47	In the Writer window, write the following formulae using Mark up.
08:53	Use Elements window if necessary.
08:57	Summation of x to the power of 2.
09:02	Sin to the power of x plus cos to the power of x = 1 (use the Functions category in the Elements window).
09:15	Continued from the previous slide, write Summation from 1 to n of x.
09:23	(use the Operators category to set the limits for summation).
09:29	Change font to "Arial" and size to "18" point.
09:35	And provide more spacing between the symbols.
09:40	This brings us to the end of this tutorial on Mark up Language and Formula Formatting in LibreOffice Math.
09:49	To summarize, we learned the following topics:
09:52	Mark up language for writing formula and Formula formatting: Fonts, Alignment and Spacing.
