The other thing that is missing is a system to auto number each equation as is normal in scientific literature.
As in Maple?
PS
It is Maple solution this problem:
Three fishermen lay down to sleep, not having counted or divided their catch. In the night, one of them woke up, and (not quite trusting the others) decided to divide the pile of fish and take his share. But the number of fish wasn't visible by three. However, he found he could throw one fish away, then take exactly a third. This he did (noting, in the true spirit of fairness, that an even number of fish was left for his comrades) and went back to sleep. Later, the second and third fishermen woke in turn, and each went through the same process. The question is, what is the MINIMUM number of fish in the catch that fulfils these conditions?
Something like the above, MC Prime should in my view be able to procedurally generate a NOMENCLATURE of the variables that are user defined within the table or better still parse the entire template. I think you would agree that to produce something like the above in MC Prime takes a lot of effort to align text variables, especially since you can no longer embed variables in text blocks (another annoying limitation of MC Prime). In my view incorporating something like the above in a template is both a quality assurance measure and helps others that may use your template understand it. It seems to me that MC Prime is already "aware" of all the defined variables and associated units within a template, especially those defined in tables. My thought is it should therefore be able to procedurally generate (obviously requiring some user input to describe each variable) a variable NOMENCLATURE. A convert TABLE to NOMENCLATURE would be a welcomed feature but a template wide solution would be even better.
