Insert equations into questions ... for example multiple choice
In the storyline 3 version for 2018, the utility of inserting tables was annexed and that is very good, my question for the designers is: why was not an equation editor for storyline 3 contemplated ?, that would have been fabulous. For example, the Wondershare QuizCreator software brings its integrated equation editor, why not storyline ?.
I hope this comment is useful.
Sorry for my English.
Hello everyone, 🎉
I have some great news to share. We just released another update for Storyline 360. In Update 97, we’ve included essential fixes and new features. One of the new features we’ve included is:
- Build math equations using LaTeX syntax and revise them by adding color and alt text, all within Storyline 360.
Launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer to take advantage of this update, and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You’ll find our step-by-step instructions here.
Building Math equations has also been released in Rise 360 today!
Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have additional questions.

In the 3 storyline version for 2018, you can insert equations but not within the questions for example multiple choice, and in this case, those equations inserted can not be ordered randomly along with the answer options.
I hope this comment is useful.

Hi Alfredo,
Really appreciate your feedback on this! We've heard from other users that a mathematical equation editor would be a useful feature, and we're tracking those requests.
If that feature gets added to Storyline in the future, I'll let you know!

Hi,
The absence of an equation editor, of the possibility to insert symbols and special characters as well as the very limited features of the regular text editor are a serious handicap in RISE. I hope that those improvements will be made soon. They have been the subject of feature requests for a long time. I just love RISE, and hate to have to turn elsewhere at one point because of these shortcomings. I waste so much time due to the limited text formatting options. It is very frustrating to work with screen captures for equations. They do not align well with text. I use subscript to bring them down a bit, but that only slightly improves things. For fractions, the problem is much bigger. Finally, while using screen captures for equations might look somewhat OK in desktop view mode, in mobile view modes the result is very far from satisfactory.
Thanks.
Hello Mourad!
I know a few other users have asked for math equation support in Rise, so we're tracking those requests to look at the potential of this as a feature.
I'll add your discussion to that list, and I hope that others in the community are able to share what they've done to add math equations to their Rise courses in a way that saves time and looks great in all formats.

+ 1 for an equation editor in Storyline 3.
Cannot find where I can support this request otherwise.
Ta.
Thanks for reaching out Felix. You're in the right place with regards to this feature request :)
For future reference, any idea/suggestion that you have can be shared with our team here too.

I am also looking for an equation editor in Storyline. I prefer a MathType-style equation editor (really any equation editor based in LaTeX).
I'm working with just a trial right now and I don't think I'll use Storyline in the future if it doesn't integrate an equation editor. - TaleSaastadCommunity Member
Yes, an equation editor would be appreciated.
Hello Tale and Courtney and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)
As I mentioned above, you're in the right place to be notified of any updates regarding this feature request.
We are tracking this for both Storyline 360 and Storyline 3.

Hi,
Thanks for the response.
I just wonder - I was able to find posts as far back as 2015 asking for equations with the same response.
We are looking at purchasing licenses for our institute and, being the math department, will only consider it if equations are viable.
Can you provide any further information regarding if this is currently deemed an important enough issue to work on or if has not yet met the requirements to be forwarded to your developers?
Thank you
Courtney BoschmannHi Courtney,
It's still an open feature, so the more we hear from authors like yourself, the better! Here's a bit more insight into how ideas make it from a feature request to our roadmap, and as soon as we're able to share more details, we'll let folks know. Until that point, we don't have a public roadmap for folks to see where a feature stands in the pipeline.
