Editing expressions

Top  Previous  Next

MoboMath includes an extensive set of tools for editing mathematical expressions. This section describes each one in detail, including limitations, special cases, alternative approaches, and other tips.

 

It is important to remember that editing operations apply only to formatted expressions, not to ink. When you have a formatted math expression in a region, you can change it freely. But if you have a partially written ink expression, you can only use Undo to erase strokes or finish writing the expression, recognize it, and edit the result.

 

You may need to edit expressions to correct recognition errors, make changes to your input, or modify an expression copied from one of your documents. When you are entering a number of similar expressions, you may also want to copy and edit an earlier expression rather than creating each one from scratch.

 

You can perform any of the following editing operations in MoboMath:

 

Select text
Delete
Request alternates
Add ink
Undo and redo
Move and copy
Modify matrices

 

See the topic on each for a detailed explanation.
