Apple Iwork Pages



  1. Apple today updated Pages, Numbers, and Keynote, its iWork apps designed for the Mac, to version 10.0 with a new set of features. The updates add support for iCloud Folder Sharing for.
  2. Concept of Operations Template (Apple iWork Pages) The Concept of Operations template (iWork Pages 30 pages) describes the purpose of a proposed system, the environment in which it will be operated, how it will be used, roles and responsibilities of users, resources required for its implementation, and other information project stakeholders will need to fund the proposed system.

On January 6, 2009, Apple released the fourth version of Pages as a component of iWork '09. On January 27, 2010, Apple announced a new version of Pages for iPad with a touch interface. On May 31, 2011, Apple updated the iOS version of Pages to 1.4, bringing universal binaries, allowing the app to be run on iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch devices.

Iwork

LaTeX and MathML are supported by all three iWork apps (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote) and iBooks Author. iWork and iBooks Author support all LaTeX commands that can be converted to MathML with blahtex. Additional supported LaTeX extensions are listed below.

Learn how to add equations using LaTex and MathML to your iWork documents or iBooks Author book.

LaTeX and MathML aren't currently supported in the iWork apps on iCloud.com.

LaTeX commands

LaTeX generally requires equations to be enclosed in math mode commands such as the examples listed below. To make equation authoring easier, iWork and iBooks Author's equation editors are in math mode by default, so it isn't necessary to add math mode commands to your equations.

  • begin{math} … end{math}
  • begin{displaymath} … end{displaymath}
  • begin{equation} … end{equation}
  • $ … $
  • $$ … $$
  • ( … )
  • [ … ]

If you want to add text to an equation in iWork or iBooks Author that inherit the paragraph style, use text{…}. Nesting equations inside text{...} is not supported.

In math mode, blahtex doesn't fully support non-ASCII unicode characters, but it does accept the full unicode character set in text mode. For more information on specific characters, such as the copyright symbol and characters with accent marks, see the blahtex Manual, 2.22.

Supported LaTeX commands (extensions to blahtex) and MathML elements and attributes are listed below.

Alignment

LaTeXRenders as


A nice trick for aligning equation elements is to use mbox{phantom{space}}. The contents inside the brackets (space) will account for the amount of white space created. In the example above, adding extra characters to =digit gives more white space in between the 10 • 9.

Long form arithmetic

iWork and iBooks Author don't support LaTeX for long division and remainders. To work with long division and remainders, you must use MathML.
