I am using Math inside of Writer. How do I type in a one sided limit. For example, I want the limit of {stuff} as h goes to zero from the right. Should look something like lim h->0+.

lim from h toward {0+}

does not work

The following worked for me:

lim from h toward 0^+phantom{1}

- / + won't appear in a superscript without being followed by another character, which is why I used the phantom statement to prevent the 1 from appearing.

lim x2 -1
x->0 x-1
As per my perception, we can present a limit of f(x) in this manner. Hence in such a way the equations can be present.

If you want to enter a token (word, symbol) that has a special meaning in Math, without having that meaning in effect, you can quote the token.
"+" is easier to use than + phantom {1}.

You could try
Code:
lim from x toward {0"+"} { {x^2-1} over {x-1} }

or perhaps you want to describe the situation where x is around one, and you want a superscripted plus sign:
Code:
lim from x toward {1^"+"} { {x^2-1} over {x-1} }
