Hello,

Re: Strange result
Why not k_"GG"?

LibreOffice 25.2 on Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE 7 Gigi) and 25.2 portable on Windows 11.
Re: Strange result
GG is a binary operator in math (much greater than, displayed as ">>"), and if binary operators don't have an operand on either side, it's considered a syntax error. Syntax errors in Math are displayed as an inverted red question mark.Valdas wrote:Hello,

To ensure text is displayed verbatim (not interpreted as operators or named symbols), quote it.
Hence Hagar's solution.
Apache OO 4.1.16 and LibreOffice 25.8, mostly on Ms Windows 10 and 11.
