it is called MathML, and it is brand new. There is another open standard for writing mathematical formulae, specifically designed for the web.
you can t publish it on a website, and as soon as a new release of your office suite comes out, your files compatibility becomes questionable. The problem with using equation editor, is that you can t email the file to anyone, unless they are also running your program. Word processors with equation editors (appleworks, MS office, koffice, and others all have them), are OK if all you want to do is print it out and have it on paper (although LaTeX documents look a lot better than any equation editor i have used, but that s just my opinion) Here is the central website for all things tex: i don t know how much it is used in chemistry, but its at least worth looking into, and it is free (as in beer, haha) my profs thesis was done in LaTeX, as i assume mine will be. In my schools math and physics department, it is the lingua franca for scientific documents. it is about the same difficulty to learn as html, in other words, not very difficult, but more so than textedit s font window. LaTeX is a markup language, very similar to html, except that it also has macros.
Superscript in apple textedit how to#
it knows all about how to do superscripts intelligently, and integral signs and anything you would want to do. and it makes greek math symbols look like greek math symbols instead of text from greece. but if you need to show any kind of mathematical equations, this is your tool. so if your needs are very modest, just insert your greek fonts in textedit. Incidentally, it has a slight learning curve. This software package won apples award for best open source OSX port, by the way. Yeah, its free of cost and free of restriction (being GPL).
