Two Linear Formats Interoperable with MathML

Abstract:

This talk compares two linear-format input methods for keying in mathematical equations along with other approaches involving handwriting, menus, toolbars and ribbons. The linear format methods are 1) that used in Microsoft Office 2007, and 2) a version of [La]TeX’s math input with appropriate extensions and conventions for interoperating with presentation MathML and MS Office’s OMML. Demonstrations will be given revealing how formula autobuildup to- gether with WYSIWYG editing simplify and streamline equation entry.
