Please add an equation editor!! This thread has been ongoing for 3 years
Hi Neil,
You can use an Embed block (Multimedia > Embed) to insert a Math equation from a third-party source.
In the below screenshot, I used Google Docs' Equation editor to create the function and use the Share functionality from Google to grab the link. I then inserted this link in a simple <iframe> code using the following syntax:

This works for Microsoft Word online. I haven't explored other third-party Math equation editors but as long as they have a share functionality, it should work.
This solution is viable for an isolated equation in a main block, but what if you want to have an equation appear in a process block, or an interactive figure?! What we need is an in-line equation editor that is available everywhere that text can appear. Perhaps an addition to the Quick Insert options would be a way forward? It wouldn't allow equations to appear on the same line as text, but it would certainly be an advance on what's (not) available at the moment!
