    Thanks. Using LaTex to enter a mathematical formula will be a lot easier than trying to use the equation editor in Word.

    Long time ago my father and I had a desktop publishing business and typeset a lot of textbooks including math and science. We became very handy with MathType. It's handy to see a lot of the simpler stuff can be done using just MacOS and supplied apps. LaTex is amazing but bit of a steep learning curve, one of my brothers used it for his plasma physics PhD thesis. Good to know those who know it can use it easily on Macs.

  3. OMG did they just fix Mac Os scaling with resolution to resolution independent? They wrote on Sonoma Accessibility: " Other updates include an easier way to adjust text size for reading comfort, an option to automatically pause animated images while browsing the web, and a new experience for learning how to use Voice Control." That would be the best Mac Os update in my life if they did!!!

    Gary, what you’ve done here is so important. Do these formula preserve when exported to PDFs or imported from numbers (tables)? I’ve written whole research papers in LaTex which can be a challenge at times and this will save me a ton of time. Thanks again.

    Fantastic Gary!
    Thanks for all your hard work (and others if they're involved)😊

    Math teacher here… I use equation editor all the time with latex, so for the majority of my work I use that. However, I often just want a one off symbol here or there. I have put many of these symbols into text replacements, using latex commands for my memory purpose. So if I type /times, which is the usual latex command, text corrections will convert it for me. I also have most of the Greek alphabet set up that way, so /Delta or /pi etc will convert into the appropriate symbol, or /approx or ^^3 or /sqrt.

    Hi Gary, great stuff as usual. Would it be possible for you to do a video (or two or three) on how to set up parental controls on ios? They look very functional but not very intuitive

    Regarding LaTeX: Not only is there a feature to use it inside Pages, as Gary showed us, but also LaTeX files can be created in a standalone mode, using any text editor, and then "compiled" using the command line., They can also be created using dedicated apps, such as TeXShop, which enable you to edit and display documents that are prepared using LaTeX. These documents can get quite complex, and typically the corresponding generated documents are PDF files.

    NICE! Was not expecting a video on WWDC day. Thanks for your hard work!

    Wow. From the character viewer on, I didn't know ANY of this! Thanks Gary.
