Suggestions for Enhancement #11

First of all i want to say that this is a greaat project which is exactly what i was looking for! Obviously this is quite a young project so this may take a while. However here is my feedback:

  1. A demo video, or pictures or Markown text with examples on the Plugin Page of what this Plugin can calculate seems necessary.

    • Can it solve differential equations?
    • Can it solve for x?
    • Where are the limitations?

  2. The result is shown in Live Preview when i am inside the equation but its not shown outside nor in Outline Math Block. The Numerals Plugin can show this the whole time regardless whether or not your cursor is in the same line as the equation. Maybe this helps you solving this issue

  3. Changing the Color and Size of the Result would be great

  4. Some results are shown as a fraction. It would be good to insead show it as decimal or both at the same time separated with a differently colored symbol / for example.

  5. $(1+2*3)/6==$ gives the result "1.1\overline{6}" a) Only when i click on the result to add it to my document it renders it the right way "1,6periodic line". It would be good if the correct rendering would happen in the preview of the result. b) It would be good to have a setting which tells the calc to calculate till x decimal/ floating points. Otherwise it can use quite a lot which is generally better than to few.

Thank you for your suggestions for improvement. Most of those features are planned. Unfortunately, I currently don't have any time to implement those features.
