FAQ

Q: Will iMath work in LibreOffice on Windows platform?

A: Not yet. There is an update coming in the next months that will bring iMath to Windows version of LibreOffice.

Q: Is it possible to make definitions using "," instead of "."?

A: No, because the "," is also used to separate arguments to commands. The problem will probably be solved in the next version of iMath.

Q: How to include *.imath file in the document?

A: Go to File->Properties->User defined properties->Include file *.imath, or use this line in iFormula %%ii READFILE {"*.imath"}

Q: Is it possible to clear only chosen equations?

A: You can clear equations by label (select it and choose Edit - Clear from the menu), or use this line in iFormula %%ii DELETE{#equation_label#}

Q: The iFormula and standard formula are placed differently from the left margin, is there a fast way to unify them?

A: There is no fast way to do this. Each formula would have to be manually edited. It's happening because standard formula is created with 2mm left margin (right-click -> Object to see these margins), while iFormula is created with 0mm margin.

Q: I have an equation x = 100 m. How do I tell iMath that the value is in meters?

A: In the new iFormula dialog write this x=100 "m" . The "m" tells iMath that the value is in meters. This will only work if you have included the units.imath file with File->Properties->User defined properties->Include file units.imath
