Yes, all of this is what I was referring to. I'm very pleased the idea is popular! I have already corrected silly typos on the fly in class (e.g. n_i instead of n, missing parentheses) and the class has been rather surprisingly impressed; however, not being able to easily insert math wherever I want has been a bit of a downer, because sometimes I think of some relevant command but it doesn't fit in as well where the cells actually are. By the way, any non-keyboard commands would be great; there should be ample documentation in the notebook help page; and any visual clues like earlier part of this thread for at least some of these things would be great too, e.g. the TinyMCE thing in William's mockup. - kcrisman --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
