Calcpad version 5.8.3

[Proektsoftbg]

No-calcs option was added to display the equation "as is" without results. This is implemented by additional #noc switch, besides #val and #equ, see issue #44.

Revolutions (rev) angle units were included. One rev = 2pi radians = 360 degrees. Check #34 (comment).

"Missing )" parsing bug was fixed, see issue #46.

Documentation and syntax definitions were updated.

1.I have found a little inconvenience with code autocompletion.Any code begining with "#"will stop autocompletion when the first letter are pressed after #, also only press # and select what code you want then press Tab or enter to input that code will input 2 "#".
2.When run the example of "SLS Design of Beam with Rectangular Section", on 115 th line of the code, the results are two terms multipled, of which the first term is in [].However, small brackets, i.e. () are not used, though in the code two set of brackets () are used, one of which is used to define a fraction element.

1. I cannot reproduce this problem. I press # and autocomplete unfolds. When I continue typing, it filters and when I press TAB or click, it insert the keyword as expected. Of cource, if you type wrong, the autocomplete cancels and disappears. Can you please try to record some video? Does anyone else experience such a problem?
2. You always have to use () brackets in code. Square brackets are reserved for vectors. However, large brackets is formatted as square brackets and small - as round. This is not a problem. This is how Calcpad works from the very beginning. It simply looks more beautiful and readible. Rond brackets look ugly when too large and take more space.

1.I will try to record a vedio and send by email, I hope this could be made.

2.It's no problem with small brackets in the code. What I meant is that the results, for which the inner small brackets are used for the fraction, they are not displayed in the results, thus the outer brackets shoud use small brackets instead, right? If we compare the results with a handwritten format,it would be clarified.

Hi, Ned. I found the autocomoletion problem I confronted with may attribute to the input software.

Input software?

1- In previous versions (5.8.1 at least), you could pass your mouse over the variables in the output side and it would tell you the value of the variable, It seems this feature does not work anymore in version 5.8.3.

2- In previous version 5.8.1, I could add lines of spaces in the input side. This helped space different sections. It seems when I open the same files in version 5.8.3 all the lines of input code are all together (without spacing), it makes it hard to read.

Hi,

Thank you for reporting this. About missing tooltips, it was the template file. I have managed somehow to damage it.
If you download and unzip the updated template.html in your c:\program files\Calcpad folder, you will make it work right now:

template.zip

About missing emptly lines, I found where the problem was and fixed it in the code:

I will be able compile a release on Tuesday. Now I am away and do not have the digital signiture stick with me.
