Is there a tool that is
- WYSIWYG and not latex (in fact any coding) base
- online (for ease of collaboration)
- Can write math equation
- Does line numbering
- Does equation numbering
Google Doc is perfect for 1-3, but they don't support 4-5 (unless you work around by using tables, but that's not really a nice solution)
Authorea and Overleaf does 2-5, but is very latex/code based. (Despite Overleaf's rich text editing mode, which is a step closer to what I want, but still quite far from the goal)
(At the moment, I am just using Google Doc and do all the numbering post exporting to .doc)
---------This is not the same question as Collaborative paper-writing with non-LaTeX-using colleagues------------
Reasons:
- The author of that question clearly wants to use latex for his part of the collaboration, but wants a non-latex front end for his no-latex using collaborators. Unlike him, apart from writing equations, I have absolutely no intention of using any latex code. In fact, I will be satisfied with MS word type equation editor (as long as it lets me put equation number on it)
- The accepted solution to that post includes solution like overleaf and Authorea, which I specifically said is not satisfactory to me because they are too latex based.
- Another population solution to that post was Lyx, which clearly fails the 'Online' part of my question.
At risk of repeating myself, let me say this. That post is after a masked latex service. Whereas I am after a Google Doc with line and equation numbering feature. If I insert a table, I want to insert a table, not a \begin{tabulate\table} environment, if I insert of picture, I want to be able to drag and adjust its position. I want a truly WYSIWYG editor.
