After my presentation this afternoon, I was asked about maths support in authoring tools. The screenshot below shows how this happens in eXe. LaTeX code can be input directly, or you can select some of the more common mathematical symbols from a symbol editor. Each equation or other portion of mathematical content is output as an image file, over whose appearance you have some degrees of control. The typefaces/alignment/rendering are not of as lofty a standard as that available through LaTeX, but I’m impressed with the functionality and quality myself.
