Embed and evaluate simple math in Editorial documents

heretiq

Editorial is a very impressive app. I'm convinced it can accommodate most of my text editing needs. However, from time to time I need to include some simple math in notes or documents I am producing. I typically use Calca or Soulver in these cases. It would be great to be able to do this in Editorial. I have searched documentation and forum posts to determine if this is possible but have not found an answer -- hence this post. Is it possible to embed and evaluate simple math in Editorial documents?

I definitely wouldn't compare it to Calca or Soulver, but some simple things like this are possible with workflows:

Thanks Ole. You rock! I've modified the workflow to perform an inline calculation on the selected expression, and shared it here:

Editorial is one step closer to becoming the only text editor I need. Holding my breath for the Mac and iPhone versions ;)
