Product Description:

Frontend to pdflatex (not included) which allows inline typesetting of valid LaTeX strings in many services-aware apps (TextEdit, Mail, OmniGraffle, iOrganizeX, etc.)
Open a services-aware app, type some text like E = mc^2 , highlight it, then select "Equation Service / Typeset Equation" from the services menu. The text will be replaced by a small PDF file containing the typeset result.
You can also use this program in "main window" mode where you choose "Show Main Window" from its menubar, type some input text in the upper left field in that window, and get the typeset result in the bottom field. You can then save this PDF file, export to TIFF, or drag and drop into another app (like MS Word)
YOU NEED PDFLATEX FOR THIS TO WORK. You can get pdflatex from many places including the TeXShop website.
Please send bug reports to dougrowland@mac.com

How do you remove the service menu ? i tried to drop everything i could in relation with Equation Service, but there is still this menu ! i want to remove it beacause command-< is used by Equation Service, when this hotkey is used to switch between windows in certains applications....
