not sure if this is the right magazine, but I couldn’t find a libre office one
one of these endnotes is a different size for some odd reason. any ideas?
Oh, to have “reveal codes” like WordPerfect!
hm? is this a reference im too young to understand
Back in the 1980s, before MS Word was the unquestioned king of the desktop, there was a DOS word processing program called WordPerfect. Everyone used it.
WP had a feature where you could press a special key combination and the screen would split. The top would have your text (not WYSIWYG, that was way in the future, although WP could show an approximation).
In the bottom part you could see your text, along with every control coffee that turned bolding in or off, marked text for a table of content, etc.
Not only could you see it, you could navigate through it and delete codes, or watch the codes change as you edited text in the to half of the screen.
It gave you a control that I still miss these days. No more wondering why your word processor is doing columns wrong, or why the image you inserted doesn’t line up properly.
Check it out (starting at around 4:20).
That first “i” looks superscript while the other ones look regular size. Could that have something to do with it?
Does it happen in a new document?
update: deleting it and adding it back fixed it, thou i feel like ive tried that before. specing is still funky, as pressing tab pushes it further than the rest, but a few spaces and its fixed. thanks @catloaf@lemm.ee and @yo_scottie_oh@lemmy.ml (is that how i tag ppl idk)
