<p>Create documents with working, well-documented calculations!</p>
<p>This is a live text editor. You can click anywhere and start typing. The calculation cells are also live. You can click on one and edit it. They will all update if you close a calculation cell with <strong>Enter</strong>.</p>
<h2 id='calculations'>Calculations</h2>
<p>To create a calculation cell, select a spot and type <strong>Alt+C</strong> or hit the <img src="./images/C.svg" alt="C" class="inline"> button. Write your calculation into the cell and write a “?” sign where the result should appear. Hit the <strong>Enter</strong> key and a completed calculation will appear, like these:</p>

<p>You can assign a result to a variable:</p>

<h2 id='drawings'>Drawings</h2>
<p>Hurmet’s <em>draw</em> environment enables function plotting. For instance, to get a sine wave, one can write the following code into a math zone:</p>
<table class="nogrid"><tr><td style="width: 298px"><pre><code>draw()
    title &quot;sin x&quot;
    frame 250, 150
    view -5, 5, -3
    axes 2, 1, &quot;labels&quot;
    strokewidth 2
    plot sin(x), 51
    text [1.6, 1.35], &quot;sin x&quot;
end</code></pre></td><td><p><span class='hurmet-calc' data-entry='draw()
