Equations latex

Is it possible to enter x double dot using the built in equation editor for Pages and/or iBooks author.


I mean x with two dots above it as in second differential wrt time.


I am aware that there are other Latex editors out there and answers that refer me to them are not what I am looking for.


I am more familiar with Latex than MathsType and a MathsType solution would be OK if a Latex solution is not available.

Pages, Numbers, and Keynote do not have LaTeX/TeX editors in them. They use a limited tool (blatex) that converts LaTeX/TeX/MathML syntax into MathML-based document objects. I encourage you to click the link provided by TammyW_03 and on that first page, click the blahtex link to download the PDF that governs what you can and cannot enter in the equation editor.


So by just entering:


\mathrm{\ddot x}

Well I am not entirely sure what you mean by "Pages does not have a Latex editor."


I entered all the following in Latex and by double clicking the Equation, I can "edit" the Latex. That's an editor isn't it?


I can't choose a kind of Raw version of the Page which I used to be able to when using Latex on a Mainframe (Well that was the default view) and certainly the Latex on Pages is a bit limited in some respects.


\begin {aligned}

\Rightarrow T&=\frac{5m}{2a}\left [u^2 -\frac{4ga}{5}+\frac{4ga \cos\theta}{5} \right]+mg \cos \theta \\


&=\frac{5mu^2}{2a} -\frac{4mg}{2}+\frac{4mg \cos\theta}{2} +mg \cos \theta\\

&=\frac{5mu^2}{2a} -2mg+3mg \cos\theta


\end {aligned}
