Math

You can in­sert in­line math us­ing the In­line Math but­ton . In­line math dis­plays in the nor­mal flow of text. You can in­sert dis­play math us­ing the Dis­play Math but­ton . Dis­play math ap­pears on its own line and is used for equa­tions. When a math equa­tion is se­lect­ed, a math tool­bar will ap­pear with a va­ri­ety of op­tions.

You can also type in a va­ri­ety of oth­er short­cuts like sin, cos, tan, ep­silon, gam­ma, omega, sup, sub, and in to in­sert math­e­mat­i­cal no­ta­tion. La­TeX math syn­tax is also sup­port­ed.

Dis­play math equa­tions are num­bered. You can type “Equa­tion” to get a drop­down of equa­tions in your project. Once se­lect­ed, Inkwell will keep the equa­tion num­ber up to date.

Glob­al Set­tings in­cludes a Math sec­tion with the fol­low­ing op­tions.

  • Font: Font to use for Math. Reg­u­lar Fonts can­not be used for Math, as Math fonts have spe­cial re­quire­ments. We sup­ply a va­ri­ety of Math fonts, one of which should be a good fit for your work.

  • Num­bered By: Choose whether equa­tions num­bers restart in each chap­ter, or are con­tin­u­ous across the whole project.

Dis­play Equa­tions have a sin­gle prop­er­ty avail­able in Lo­cal Set­tings: num­bered. This can be used to dis­able the num­ber for a par­tic­u­lar equa­tion.

To in­sert an Equa­tion ref­er­ence, type the word Equa­tion, an au­to­com­plete will ap­pear al­low­ing you to se­lect which equa­tion you want to ref­er­ence. Inkwell will keep the ref­er­ence up to date if equa­tions are moved, re­moved, or oth­er­wise re­arranged.
