Does it do inline equations? Display equations are the easy ones; lining up inline equations is harder.

Hello. Inline equations are not supported, as with MathType equations in Pages you are dealing with PDF images and have to consider the image border. I tested in Scrivener and inline equations appear slightly superscripted. By the way, display equations were not that *easy* to code either! :-)

All the best, David.

In fact, we're now back to coding and trying to improve the look of inline results!

@davidmj, good job on that. I have Scrivener 2.1 (thanks Keith!), and I see some improvements over the 2.1 beta -- specifically, @juneallisonlester, support for properly-aligned inline equations!

Now if you could do something about import/export of RTF with equations, it'd be perfect! :-)
