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.

Hey nerak100,
Some information on using LaTeX and MathML with those apps can be found in the following guides:
About LaTeX and MathML support in Pages, Numbers, Keynote, and iBooks Author - Apple Support

Thanks for participating in Apple Support Communities.
Take care!

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}
you get:
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}
Just editor semantics…😎. I have the full 10GB MacTeX 2022 installed on Monterey, and accustomed to TeXShop. The blahtex translator supports straightforward LaTeX as you have posted above, but sometimes, it raises ___ with what is input.
\ddot{x} is what was required, which was in one of the pages from apple referred to.
Thanks
