• The majority of the MathML 2 presentation markup elements are supported.
• While editing equations these are displayed in two formats simultaneously, namely properly rendered and with editing elements added.
• Equations can be saved in MathML format or as bitmap images. The same is true for copying equations to the clipboard.

• Simple LaTeX expressions are interpreted.^[2]
