-
- This program is a mathematical equation editor. Like a word
- processor that lets you write text, MathScript is used to write
- mathematical formulas.
- It offers you a variety of mathematical and physical symbols and lots
- of objects like fractions, roots, brackets and matrices to compose
- formulas, which can then be imported into word processors or DTP
- applications to produce scientific documents.
-
- Here is an overview of the features of MathScript:
-
- * WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get)
- While you edit your formula it is displayed in its final look.
- Editing is done like a word processor, use the keyboard to enter
- characters, move the cursor with the cursor keys or the mouse, mark
- blocks by dragging the mouse...
-

- variable, function, text, greek, symbol, number and 2 special

-
- * AutoFormat
- MathScript automatically formats your input, i.e. it uses the
- appropriate font for each character.
- So called "styles" affect the way this is being done. The following
- styles exist:
- Math, Variable, Function, Greek, Text, Extra1, Extra2.
-
- * Function Recognition
- MathScript "knows" the most common function names (like sin) and is
- able to automatically apply the function font to it
