Math and science formulas

[Wilna Smith]

I would like to use mathematical symbols in my documents also superscript and subscript. Is that possible?  Can one use something like Latex ?  Is there a way to export to image from a program like Lyx to then embed the formula as a image?

The easiest would be to use a font that has all mathemathical symbols in it (TreeSheets supports unicode), though of course that is not likely to give you correct layout, nor super/subscript. TreeSheets is unlikely to support complicated formatting, so if that is needed, using images from a dedicated program is indeed your best option.

There's a unicode_test.cts included, you can load that up and then change the base font to see which one shows something under "Mathematical Operators".

Instead of using Lyx I recommend EqualX[1]. It's not a full-fledged TeX IDE, but instead only exports images of single equations in various formats. You can easily copy from EqualX and paste in TreeSheets. This approach has disadvantages, if you want to edit an equation you need to save the TeX that generated it seperate from TreeSheets. Or what I do sometimes: in a single cell with the smallest font under it.

Just a word of advice dealing with this, in an ideal world TreeSheets would support inline TeX. ;-)
