It is recommended to always use the iMath menus to create or modify iFormulas. Nevertheless, sometimes it will be necessary to fine-tune iFormulas by editing them directly.

All iMath commands start with %%ii at the beginning of a line, which will be interpreted as a comment by Office. When the document is recalculated, iMath parses the text after the %%ii and generates the formula that is displayed. The generated lines are marked by %%gg at the end of the line. Editing such a line makes no sense because it will be deleted at the next recalculation! Always modify the %%ii lines if you want to tweak an iFormula. Formulas may also have lines without either %%ii or %%gg. At the next recalculation, iMath will convert these into %%ii TEXT lines.

Note on version 2.2.8 and higher: iFormulas can now continue over several lines using the syntax %%ii+.
