On this section some basic elements about how to build a mathematical expression on Apache OpenOffice Math will be provided.

Simple Commands and Functions

As seen on the section about inserting a Math object, the Math editor works on "text mode".

There are several kinds of Math instructions, all of them represented by text with a particular meaning. For example, writing %gamma a Greek character will be obtained, cos will be interpreted as the cosine function while newline will insert a new line on the expression.
