Jaxe equations syntax

The equation editor works with a text area to enter an equation with a specific syntax, and the image for the equation is displayed below when the "Preview" button is clicked.

Here are some rules to follow in order to make the best use of the editor :

As opposed to many equation editors, this editor analyses the mathematical meaning of the equation. It then builds the image from there. This makes it possible to get uniform graphical results for all equations. On the other hand, it is not possible to specify display constraints, for instance to obtain a little more space between two characters : the user gives the meaning for the equation, and the editor is in charge of finding the best display for it.
