Comments in Calculations and Multiple Assignments

[JWock82]

It'd be nice to be able to add comments to the side of a calculation. For example, I'm often using building code prescribed equations and it's nice for the checker to have the code reference right next to the calculation. Putting it in a cell above or below the calculation leaves a lot of white space and needlessly makes the pages longer.

Nice suggestion, makes sense and shouldn't be too difficult to add. This also gets me thinking about other ways to reduce vertical space. Being able to make multiple assignments in a single math cell would help a lot x = y = 5 [mm] for values that are the same and x = 5 [mm], y = 30[mm] for the general case. Multiple assignments will take a little longer to implement since it will require a math parser update and I'm currently updating the math parser as part of upgrading the math editor (#167). Both of these changes combined would help out the vertical space usage quite a bit.

It'd also use half the space if the two lines below could be rendered in one line:

Yes, being able to combine an assignment and a query by putting at equals sign at the end is a good idea as well.

I find seeing the calculated numbers as I go is often helpful in identifying how each parameter weighs into the final solution.

Thanks for this!
