Using equations and formulæ

From NeoWiki

NeoOffice includes a formula or math module for creating mathematical equations and formulæ for stand-alone use or for insertion in other NeoOffice documents (NeoOffice can also read most equations in Microsoft Office documents, as well as import and export MathML). It may not be as nice as MathType, but it's built-in (and free!).

If your needs are more demanding, there are at least two add-on packages that work with NeoOffice.

Using LATEX equations

LATEX is a long-standing format for mathematical equations. It is still used in math and engineering fields, including some publishers of academic journals.

If you have LATEX equations you wish to include in a NeoOffice or OpenOffice.org document, you may use the OOoLatex macro, which you can find at ooolatex.sourceforge.net/.

At this time, we do not know how to extract LATEX equations from Calc or such thing. If you know of a way, please include it here.

Dmaths

Dmaths is a French project working on add-ons for OpenOffice.org and NeoOffice that allow the creation advanced mathematical and scientific formulæ and diagrams.
