Hi,

I see that SMath Studio has no documentation. So without a documentation behind which describes all the functions which are implemented in SMath Studio and on which user can use them, and also on which user can learn how to use these functions, how I can learn SMath Studio? Without such a documentation user does not know what functions are existing and can be used in SMath Studio...Without such a documentation and example user does not know how to use even the existing functions in SMath Studio...

Seems that SMath studio does not have any help to support the user in learning SMath Studio and what can be done with SMath studio, what are the capabilities of SMath Studio.

I saw that some users wrote a book or a tutorial having some examples included in these, but there is no official documentation describing the functions and some example on how to use these functions...

Look at Mathcad Prime help/documentation for example:

Show Spoiler

moderator: screenshots moved in the spoiler to keep the page readable

Or I can rely on the fact that all Mathcad Prime functions can be used also in SMath Studio? (the syntax is the same in both?)

In fact, SMath has a documentation which is called Interactive SMath Handbook.
You can download it from Tools>Plugins>Interactive Books, and make it default.
Then you can reach it by clicking Blue Book icon with question mark at toolbar.

When I try to download Interactive SMath Handbook then SMath is closing/crashing. And when I run again SMath Studio, the interactive SMath Handbook is not installed.

Same error as the Maple Plugin. Definitely a bug in the latest SMath Studio code (hard crash on extension installation).

Somebody has any idea then when this issue will be solved?

Does anyone know if this issue has reached the owner of SMath and in how much time this probleme will be solved?

You can download the Interactive Handbook from the [url=smath.com:8443/!/#public/view/head/handbooks/Activebook/activebook]SVN repository[/url]
Just download all files in the Activebook directory and open contents.sm just like an ordinary worksheet. Navigate the links using Ctrl-Click.

Thanks Martin.

Anyway, taking into acoount on Davide Carpi's comment as well, this bug with the bad or not loading properly plugins in the latest SMath Studio code should be reported to the owenr of SMath,and hope to be solved this bug in the next update of SMath code...

Ok, I see today than an update was made for SMath Studio and I was able to install Interactive SMath Handbook from Tools>Plugins>Interactive Books without crashing or closing of SMath Studio.

Thanks.

Greetings!

   I fully understand your frustrations. As such, I took the initiative to compile a keyboard/keypress sheet for users to help navigate the program. The tricky part is knowing that certain functions only exist if you have certain plugins installed.
https://en.smath.com/forum/yaf_postst23271_SMath-Keyboard-Shortcuts.aspx

   You can use the "Function..." from the Dropdown of the ｢Insert｣ menu in the menubar (i.e., ｢Ctrl｣ + ｢E｣) to review all (or at least most) functions currently loaded into your program. Other then that, you can take advantage of https://en.smath.com/forum/yaf_topics32_Extensions.aspx to view documentation on the various plugins.

   Just an FYI, the two people on this thread (Davide Carpi and Martin Kraska ｢mkraska｣) are some old-pros when it comes to this software; we all have some decent authority and working relationships with the owner. You are in good hands if they are helping you through an issue/question.

   In conclusion, I'll leave you with this post from 3 years ago:

ElSid,

Ctrl+Shift+K does already work in SMath... are you talking about just adding that to the documentation so it's not a secret anymore? It does kind of remind me of playing video games as a kid and having to discover and memorize the different undocumented "cheat codes" that each game had.
