About equation editors: Wendy McKay from TUG noticed the existence of
the commercial MathMagic <http://www.mathmagic.com/product/
product.html>, which exists as a personal edition and several pro
editions. It's fully WYSIWYG, and doesn't seem to be TeX-based. The
personal edition is stand-alone, while the pro ones include the stand-
alone application plus either InDesign or XPress plugins; the pro
editions seem to also include additional functions, like exporting
colored equations while the personal edition only exports B&W output,
and PostScript fonts while the personal edition only includes
TrueType and OpenType fonts.
The equations can be pasted in applications like Keynote apparently,
and double-clicking the pasted equation brings back to the editor for
modification. More details in <http://www.mathmagic.com/download/
Documentations/MM5.0UserGuide.pdf>.
That said, the pricing seems prohibitive IMO for an equation editor
-- compared with what we get for free with TeX-based editors (for
example, $30 academic with 6-month subscription for the personal
edition, *and* $200 academic with 6-month subscription for the pro
InDesign edition).
