So I am using an equation editor for the first time in years, because a lot of word processors *still* don't properly support equations (i.e. they don't support LaTeX for real).
Equation editors still suck. Equation editors still connect parts of the equations (that shouldn't be connected) so that you can't edit them and minor mistakes require a full redo.
How is this the case in 2024!?!

I usually use #LaTeX for writing stuff, particularly with a lot of #maths in it. However, sometimes I am compelled to use something like #LibreOffice to communicate with colleagues so that they can edit drafts etc. I was using the #EquationEditor and it has a LaTeX style syntax. Furthermore, I’ve discovered that you can write an equation, “TeX style”.
