The best bit is that you can go back to the rendered equation later and convert it back to Latex code, edit and then re-layout.
This is great for any semi-techincal epub stuff, because the live code is always there in the text, but it burps out the formula nicely.
Also works well with tabulation - often best seen as a kind of diagram…
However I prefer results from scriveners lists, to \itemize.
Now if anyone knows why the colour in LatexIT does not work so well, when called as a service…
It also looks as if the service ought to hunt through a whole bunch of scrivenings and find all the equations and bits of latex to convert…No success here with that.
In summary, I have wasted more time than I want to re-count looking at getting high quality equations into publications. Some variant of Tex is definitely the way to go, particularly in something with the philosophy of Scrivener, where you can repurpose text, squirting it out through different publication routes.
For those that don’t want to install a service, but just need occasional equations, dumped as graphics…
codecogs.com/latex/eqneditor.php
Gives an equation-editor like interface (so a deluge of drop downs, covered in math glyphs)
It’s also about the only way of getting an svg from LaTEX that I know of…tidily.
Then keep the code in the document notes (just in case you change your mind - or make a small mistake) and dump the equation (formatted), where-ever you want it.
