Although a number of wysiwyg editors can display math symbols, the original poster asked about EXTENSIBLE wysiwyg systems. Thus, for example, on the Xerox star one can easily create and display on the screen summations or integrals with bounds in the proper places by selecting the "sigma" or "Integral" template in equation mode. Of course it's recursive so you can create things like: infinity SIGMA f(k) k=1 INTEGRAL y(x) dx 37 What you can NOT do with that editor, or with any other with which I'm familiar, is create your own notation. Thus, suppose you want to have RHO behave like SIGMA, or want to create a notation that uses overbars to indicate binding, e.g.: ___ ________/___\ / / \\ FORALL a EXISTS b (f(a,b)) Is there any commercially available product?
