#686 interactive equation editor for texstudio mathtype style editor ,Equation Editor "Ms Word" or math libreoffice

[carolin9405]

mathematical wizard is very useful, but only serves to some goals , I would like to exist an equation editor like LibreOffice ( https://www.libreoffice.org/discover/math/ ) texstudio but where one does the equation visualizing in real time and with aid as symbols , arrays , functions, etc. and then finished conviertiera the environment in preference (one would choose ) would be good especially newbies and anyone as it would be very useful .

an example is good but proprietary and MathType ( http://www.dessci.com/en/products/mathtype/features.htm )

here there are good free editors
http://equalx.sourceforge.net/ (very good)

here found a latex editor with this feature (gnu gpl license free) called RTextDoc, the desired characteristic is as it says

One can insert an integrated equations using Equation Editor (shown on the write) in WYSIWYG ("What You See Is What You Get") mode. When an equation is ready, one can insert it to the main text.

this would be very useful: D, also would save a lot and would be easier to use by novices, and in case of long equations would serve much, I attached a screenshot

the website is: http://jwork.org/rtextdoc/

not if they can be based on your code as it is gpl but would be great to see that in texstudio many friends complain why publishers (and almost all) and whether this would be a texstudio will add more great editor

thank you very much

As with the tables, I recommend working in the source code rather than using a separate wizard for similar reasons.

For manipulating math, TXS offers support in the following ways:
- The Math menu.
- The symbol lists in the left panel.
- Most important: the inline preview (live updating while you are typing).

Staying closer to the source code is advantage and disadvantage at the same time, but I belive it will be better in the end.

serious as an aggregate would not have to replace it, I feel great that method but for those with some experience, it would be good to place the two also help novice users, besides the serious user who'd pick to use

they could place as an aid, as figure etc

I'm not saying that a formular editor might not be a help for beginners, but I won't go into that direction because cost and benefit are largely disproportional.

A formular editor similar to the one in the attached image shown above would be a significant development effort (probably > 100h to get it reasonably good). Compared to that, I simply don't see a large benefit. We've a long list of features already, many of them with lower developement effort and higher user value. Due to limited ressouces we don't even come to implementing these. If you (or someone else) wants to implement a formular editor for TXS, you are highly welcome and we would support you in integrating it in the TXS code, but none of the core development members has the time to develop the editor itself. We simply have to set priorities.
