Althogh Mathmagic company says Math Magic enables you to write equations from within InDesign doc, technically mathmagic plug-in runs its external Mathmagic application.

So you can use MathMagic pro with all versions of Indesign. MathMagic pro comes with multiple plug-ins: indesign 2.0, CS, CS2, CS3, CS4, CS5. You can make it externally saved and linked, or embeded in the doc, from its Preference window. once done, it places the equation into InDesign doc as an EPS image. All the equation writing and editing is done by the external MathMagic Pro application. Once you select РІР‚СљNew EquationРІР‚Сњ, it opens an equation editor window. MathMagic plug-in is a special addition for InDesign and this adds some UI to InDesign menubar and toolbar and right-button clicked contextual menu, such as РІР‚СљNew EquationРІР‚Сњ, РІР‚СљEdit EquationРІР‚Сњ. this app works with other applications and documents via copy-paste or drag-drop just like othr applications. MathMagc app is the very standalone equation editor application. MathMagic Pro eidtion comes two programs: MathMagic application and MathMagic plugin. It comes with all the bells and whistles, and backed up with productity if you have to handle lots of equations often.

So you can tell MathMagic is the most advanced full featured equation editing solution for tech writers and designers/publishers once you try it.

Math Magic has been around for more than 10 years as a standalone equation editor and as a Quark Xtension since Quark 3.x. So, if your project is for a short term for a few books, and if you don't mind typing all equations and you don't face any critical deadline, and if more controls over font/size/style/color is important for you, InMath might be the one for you. (Math Magic comes with all plug-ins for InDesign 2.0 or newer if you pay once: US$499.0) Or, if you have to maintain multiple versions of InDesign(such as CS2, CS3, CS4) for some reasons, for example to work with multiple clients, you will have to purchase each plug-in separately. If youare going to stay tuned with InDesign for many years, you will end up with paying much more.

And you have to purchase an upgrade whenever Adobe releases a newer version. InMath is quite expensive though(495 Euro) and multi-user discount not available unless 10 or more. MathMagic and MathType can be used as a standalone application and works with other applications as well. So if you have to import any ready made equations, saved in MathType, MathML, LaTeX, out of luck at the moment.Р”Р„nd you may not export the equations as a separate external image unless you make a screen shot.Р”Р„ctually it is not an equation editor but more like a special text editor with special styles for Math.Р”Р„s all the equation handling features are implemented as a plugin, InMath used to have some bugs and compatibility issues when opening InMath equation embeded InDesign documents in a newer version of InDesign.Р”Р„nd InMath only runs witin InDesign so you have to run InDesign to use it.

InMath does not offer any import/export options for other equation formats. So if your equation work should handle lots of equations and comlex equations often including higher Ed level, MathMagic is definitely the way to go. InMath can handle most K12 equations but it takes more time if you have to deal with complex equations or multi-lined equations. If your workflow has some InCopy users for data entry, they can also work with InMath. So it is a bit more flexible in changing the font size and style of each component of your equation. So the equation is not saved as a separate image file but rather integrated into the InDesign's text property. InMath forms an equation by placing characters and symbols in its specific position to make the result look like an equation. Both of InMath and MathMagic are for creating equations in InDesign documents but their appoaches are completely different
