We would like to keep the simple math expression parser, well, simple. Basically this means: unlike the excellent TeX/ASCIIMath/MathJax, there should be almost no markup to be learned and remembered by the user. However, if we find a very simple way to express constants (may be the '\' you suggest, may be something else), we'll implement this feature in a future release. > > Many thanks for a great tool ! > > Stefan > -- XMLmind XML Editor Support List [email protected] http://www.xmlmind.com/mailman/listinfo/xmleditor-support
