The MathMagic Plug-in provides you with the user interface (a menu and a tool button) which enables you to create and edit equations directly inside the InDesign document. Then, it communicates with the external MathMagic Pro application seamlessly. Version 6.4 adds new or enhanced features including:
· New OpenType format mathematical symbol fonts, Greek fonts, and Math body text fonts.
· Automatic activation or installation of MathMagic fonts.
· Improved Toolbar Interface for Template and Symbol palettes.
· Predefined Save path and user defined file naming with Macros for faster multiple equation creation.
· Improved MathML and LaTeX support. You can make any equations with MathMagic Pro application very quickly, and then send them back to InDesign. MathMagic Plug-in allows you to place equations inside a text box as inline graphics, or floating graphic objects in EPS format. Once created, all equations are handled by InDesign just like other EPS graphic objects. But you can still edit those equations anytime just by double-clicking on them. The equation quality and customizable features meet the high-end users' complicated requirements. The plug-in includes an intelligent WYSIWYG editor with automatic equation formatting, and various flexible keyboard shortcuts are available for power users. The configurable User Item and Clips palettes provide easier access during repeated use. Additionally, there is StyleSet management for group-wide sharing of the editing environment and settings. MathMagic possesses an all graphic user interface, plus fast keyboard input support for many common templates and symbols. There are multiple Undo & Redo, Drag&Drop, visual settings and Preview features as well. Features include:
· Numerous pre-defined Templates and Symbols in palettes that cover Mathematics, Physics, Electronics, Accounting, and other higher education
· Various formats for compatibility with other software: EPS, JPEG, PICT, TeX, PDF, and MathML(available separately)
· Wide range of quality fonts for mathematical symbols in TrueType and PostScript formats
· Ability to customize Template shapes, thickness, gaps, position, and size up to 2400dpi resolution
· EPS and PostScript printing for high-end users What's new:
· Changed: Edit -> Convert TeX to Equation has a new shortcut key of shift-return, for easier conversion. And it converts TeX expression to the current cursor location even without prior selection.
· Fixed: Some memory leaking and crashing bugs fixed.
· Fixed: Edit -> Convert to TeX was not working when multi lines were selected by Select All. Space character in the TeX expression was not handled correctly.
· Fixed: Some memory leaking and crashing bugs fixed.
· Added: New option added to the Import/Export Options dialog to let user ignore DTD path when importing MathML for fast reading.
· Added: Some more TeX tags supported.
· Added: Matrix setting dialog has more options to set Align and Same width for Column.
· Changed: MathMagic Pro application stores its port number(10025) of local TCP/IP address 127.0.0.1 in the following file so that user can change it if necessary. This Port number is used only by MathMagic Pro application(not by MathMagic Personal Edition) when communicates with MathMagic plug-ins or MathMagic XTensions.
