Math support at last!..

Yes, we have LaTeX equation support now! Things are getting more serious…

Some fonts are mysteriously missing (most notably mathcal, although mathfrak and mathbb are there), and things like arrays are not supported. This puts a damper on a more advanced typesetting, but we are now set for basic and not-so-basic math. Both displaystyle and textstyle are supported, although the editor is not smart enough to recognize inlined formulae, so you will have to do some extra typing if you want that. Equation editor keeps LaTeX source code, so its easy to modify. I hope Apple takes a good look at MathJax, and gets a feature-complete renderer implemented for iBooks Author.

All in all, a great progress compared to version 1.0 for science writers.

Pano shooter about iBooks Author, v2.0
