Yes. > What we are referring to is an equation editor that Davide (the author > of jsmath) wrote: > > http://www.math.union.edu/~dpvc/talks/2006-12-08.IMA/editor.html > Thanks for the link. > It's really pretty nice.

But as Davide himself suggests the "jsmath" editor does seem somewhat less mature. A glance at some of the javascript code seems to confirm that. So I am at a loss to understand the comments of William and a few others who replied that they preferred it over the MathDox editor http://www.mathdox.org/formulaeditor/ You can try for example inserting and editing formulas in a nested set of matrices, etc. One nice thing about it is that someone has already written code that is intended to map the output to various computer algebra systems. Surely adapting this for Sage would not be such a big deal.
