# Calcpad-Symbolic

**Calcpad with Symbolic Math, Python, Maxima, FEM Visualization** — A fork of [CalcpadCE](https://github.com/imartincei/CalcpadCE) v7.6.2.

Calcpad-Symbolic extends CalcpadCE with three CAS engines, interactive FEM visualization, enhanced unit operators, user-defined functions, and Python/OpenSeesPy integration. All output rendered with the native CalcpadCE template.

> Gift to the CalcpadCE community. Since Ned closed the original repository, I wanted to contribute something useful.

## Novedades — v1.9.5 (2026-07-01)

- **Fix bloque `#maxima`:** se eliminó una línea basura que aparecía antes de cada
  resultado (`Loading C:\Users\…\maxima-init.mac`). Maxima ecoa ese mensaje al cargar
  el archivo de inicialización personal del usuario; el filtro de salida no lo
  descartaba, así que se **renderizaba como una ecuación falsa** (`C:` → `C=`, `\` →
  división, carpetas → variables) y además **desajustaba el emparejamiento
  `entrada = resultado`**. Ahora se filtran las líneas `Loading …` (y los avisos Lisp
  `;;;`), de modo que cada operación se muestra limpia y emparejada
  (`d/dx(x²+3·x) = 2·x+3`, `∫₀¹ x² dx = 1/3`, `[x²=4] ⇒ [x=−2, x=2]`).
- **Instalador self-contained** (runtime .NET 10 embebido): ya no pide *"You must
  install or update .NET"*. Sin las carpetas `net10.0`/`win-x64` redundantes que
  inflaban el paquete (~174 MB).

## Novedades — v1.9.4 (2026-06-29)

- **Bloques `#python` / `#maxima` más robustos.** Las líneas dentro de estos bloques ahora se
  capturan **crudas**, preservando la indentación de Python y sin que los `:` `;` `(` `[` (que en
  Calcpad son caracteres de *extensión de línea*) empalmen un `for`/`if` con la línea siguiente.
  Antes esto causaba `SyntaxError` en Python o que el bloque Maxima llegara vacío.
- **Las directivas (`#for`/`#loop`/`#if`/…) siempre van en su propia línea** — una etiqueta de
  texto que termina en `:` ya no se "traga" la directiva siguiente.
- **Auto-embebido de la librería de gráficas `mlplot.cpd`** (`figure3$`/`fill3$`/…) sin necesidad
  de `#include`.

## 🚀 Quick start — mixing text, equations, symbolic and numeric

This is the **most common** thing people want to do — write a paragraph that
explains a concept and embeds equations or numerical results inline. Here are
the **five idioms** you need:

### 1. Text only — line starts with `'`

```
'Esto es texto plano. No se evalua, solo se imprime.
```

### 2. Numeric calculation — write the formula on its own line (no `'`)

```
m = 5      'kg
g = 9.81   'm/s²
P = m*g    ← Calcpad shows: P = m·g = 5·9.81 = 49.05  (substitution + result)
```

### 3. Equation WITHOUT result (display only) — `#deq`

When you want to *show* a formula but **not** compute it (variables may be
undefined), use `#deq`:

```
#deq F = m*a                    ← shows: F = m·a (no values, no =result)
#deq E = (1/2)*m*v^2 @@(EC)     ← with equation number on the right
```

### 4. Symbolic operation (derivative, integral, etc.) — `#sym`

```
#sym diff(x^3; x)               ← shows: d/dx(x³) = 3·x²
#sym integrate(sin(x); x)       ← shows: ∫sin(x)dx = -cos(x) + C
#sym diff(x^5; x; 4)            ← shows: d⁴/dx⁴(x⁵) = 120·x  (n-th derivative)
```

### 5. Mixing everything in one line (apostrophe toggles)

A line that starts with `'` is in **Text mode**. Each additional `'` flips to
**Math/Calc mode**. So the count of `'` matters:

```
'La 2da ley es '#deq F = m*a' fundamental en dinamica.
'Derivar x³ da '#sym diff(x^3; x)' segun AngouriMath.
'La energia cinetica '#deq E_c = (1/2)*m*v^2' se conserva.
'Suma de cuadrados -'S = $Sum{i^2 @ i = 1 : 10}      ← renders as Σᵢ₌₁¹⁰ i² = 385
```

Pattern: `'<text>'<directive>'<more text>` — the embedded `'#deq …'` /
`'#sym …'` is in math mode, the surrounding text is in text mode.

**Important gotcha for `$Sum`/`$Integral`/`$Product`:** they need an
**assignment** (`varname = $Cmd{...}`), and the `'` BEFORE the `=` ends text
mode. Do **not** wrap them between two `'` like `'$Sum{...}'` — that fails.

### 6. Just an expression / identity, no result wanted

If you only want to display a formula in flowing text without `#deq` (e.g. an
identity where variables aren't defined), Calcpad's *permissive inline math*
detects the pattern and routes it to display:

```
'Identidad: '(a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2*a*b + b^2' es directa.
'Leibniz: 'χ = -d^2*w/dx^2' es la curvatura.
```

The bare math between apostrophes renders as proper formula even though no
variables are defined. This works since v1.3 (Apr 2026) — see
[Pitfalls section below](#pitfalls--best-practices--deq-sym-layout-html).

### Where to learn more

- **`Examples/Finite Elements/TEST_inline.cpd`** — 12 blocks, each demonstrating
  one mixing pattern. Renders with 0 errors. Copy-paste idioms from there.

## What CalcpadCE Had (v7.6.2 by Ned Ganchovski)

- Real and complex numbers, vectors, matrices
- Units of measurement (SI, Imperial, USCS)
- Operators, built-in math functions (trig, log, etc.)
- Program flow (#if, #for, #while, #repeat)
- $Plot, $Map, $Find, $Root, $Integral, $Derivative, $Sum, $Product
- HTML report generation, Word/PDF export
- WPF desktop app with syntax highlighting

## What Calcpad-Symbolic Adds (NEW)

### 1. Symbolic Math Engine — `#sym` (AngouriMath C# native)

No external process needed. Inline or block mode.

**Calculus:** diff, integrate, limit, series, pdiff (partial derivative)
**Algebra:** simplify, expand, factor, solve, eval, subs
**Vector Calculus:** gradient (nabla), divergence, curl, laplacian, jacobian, hessian
**Laplace Transform:** 14+ common pairs, inverse Laplace
**ODE Solver:** 1st and 2nd order with constant coefficients
**Tensor Calculus:** strain, stress (Hooke), voigt, invariants, dyadic product
**Matrix Symbolic:** det, inv, eigen, transpose (2x2/3x3)

### 2. Python Integration — `#python` / `#end python`

Execute Python code blocks. Output rendered with CalcpadCE template.
Works with SymPy, NumPy, SciPy, OpenSeesPy, matplotlib, and any library.
Export variables to CalcpadCE: `print(f"CALCPAD:var={value}")`

### 3. Maxima CAS — `#maxima` / `#end maxima`

Execute the [Maxima](https://maxima.sourceforge.io/) computer algebra system and render every result as **proper Calcpad math** (fractions, powers, √, π, matrices). Supports `diff`, `integrate`, `solve`, `factor`, `expand`, `taylor`, `laplace`/`ilt`, `ode2`, `limit`, `determinant`, `invert`, `eigenvalues`, matrices and more.

**Two forms:**

- **Inline** — one expression on the same line as `#maxima` (no `;`, no `#end`):
  ```
  #maxima diff(x^3 + 2*x, x)
  #maxima integrate(cos(x), x)
  ```
- **Block** — `#maxima` alone, several `;`-terminated statements, closed by `#end maxima`. State carries across statements (define `A:` then use `A`):
  ```
  #maxima
  A: matrix([a, b], [c, d]);
  determinant(A);
  eigenvalues(A);
  #end maxima
  ```

**Rendering:** the output shows `operation = result`, both as math. Operations with standard notation use it (`d/dx`, `∫ … dx`, `det A`, `A⁻¹`, `Aᵀ`, `ℒ{·}`, `ℒ⁻¹{·}`, `lim`, `|·|`); ordinary vs **partial** derivatives are auto-detected (`d/dx` for single-variable, `∂/∂x` and mixed `∂²/∂x∂y` when the expression has several variables). Transformation commands without a symbol (`solve`, `factor`, `taylor`, …) drop the command word and show the operand, e.g. `taylor(sin(x),x,0,7)` renders as `sin(x) = x − x³/6 + x⁵/120 − …`.

Requires Maxima installed (auto-detected at `C:\maxima-*\bin\maxima.bat` or on `PATH`).

### 4. Package Manager — `#pip install`

Install Python packages directly: `#pip install numpy sympy openseespy`

### 5. Display Equations — `#deq`

Show symbolic equations without computation. Double/triple equality for reference formulas.

**Equation numbering:** `#deq expr @@(Eq. 13.1)` — number aligned right.

**Block mode:** `#deq` ... `#end deq` — multiple numbered equations.

**Inline in text:** `'text '#deq expr' more text'`

**Inline in headings:** `"Title '#deq expr'`

### 5b. Inline Directives in Text (mixed mode)

When a line starts with `'` (text mode), each additional `'` toggles between **Text** and **Expression** mode. Multiple directives and bare math expressions can be embedded inline:

```
'Hooke '#deq F = k*x' is famous.
'Derivative '#sym diff(x^3; x)' is simple.
'Sum '$Sum{i^2 @ i=1:n}' works inline.
'Work '$Integral{k*x @ x=0:x_0}' direct.
'Factorial '$Product{i @ i=1:n}' is n!.
```

**Supported inline:** `#deq`, `#sym`, `$Sum`, `$Integral`, `$Product`.
**Block only (not inline):** `#noc/#equ`, `#hide/#show`.

**Position rule:** need at least 1 character of text before the first directive.
- ✓ `' '#deq F = k*x' at start.` (space before → works)
- ✗ `'#deq F = k*x' at start.` (no text before → fails)

#### 🆕 v1.3 — Permissive inline math

Inline math between apostrophes now accepts **display-only constructs** that previously required an explicit `#deq` or would fail evaluation. The parser auto-detects the pattern and routes to the display renderer without attempting to evaluate.

| Pattern | Example | Behaviour |
|---|---|---|
| Identity (LHS is not a variable) | `'(a+b)^2 = a^2 + 2·a·b + b^2'` | Renders as HTML math, no assignment check |
| Leibniz derivative | `'χ_1 = -d^2w/dx^2'` | Proper fraction with d² / dx² |
| Mixed partials + subscripts + Greek | `'-2·d^2φ_i/dx_j·dy_k'` | Handles Greek letters, subscripts, `^n` exponents |
| Multi-term biharmonic | `'d^4w/dx^4 + 2·d^4w/dx^2·dy^2 + d^4w/dy^4 = q/D_f'` | Each term rendered as fraction, summed |
| Integral call | `'W = integral(q·w; x; 0; L)'` | Displays as ∫ with limits |
| Matrix literal assignment | `'D = [1; ν; 0 \| ν; 1; 0 \| 0; 0; (1-ν)/2]'` | Matrix with proper brackets, RHS can reference undefined vars |
| Literal `#` / `$` reference | `'usa '#blk' para bloques, '$Plot' para graficas'` | Rendered as `<code>` |
| Last-resort fallback | `'V = (4/3)·π·R^3'` (R not yet defined) | Falls back to display mode instead of error |

Also fixed in v1.3:
- `#sym` now normalizes Unicode ops (`·`, `×`, `⋅`) → ASCII `*` before dispatching to AngouriMath.
- Depth guard (16 levels) in `TryRenderDeqSpecial` prevents stack overflow on pathological recursive inputs like `ε_ij = (∂u_i/∂x_j + ∂u_j/∂x_i)/2`.
- `#deq` Leibniz regex extended to accept `d^n` with caret, Greek letters, multi-char identifiers with subscripts (e.g. `d^2φ_i/dx_j`).
- Multi-term derivative renderer handles biharmonic `d^4w/dx^4 + 2·d^4w/dx^2dy^2 + d^4w/dy^4 = q/D` correctly.
- Inline matrix `=` is vertically centered (inline-flex + align-items:center).

#### 🆕 v1.3.1 — `#sym` output cleanup + explicit subscripts only

- **Maxima/AngouriMath artifact cleanup** in `#sym` results: `%e` → `e`,
  `log(e)` → `1` before re-parsing through Calcpad's HTML formatter.
  Without this, `#sym integrate(x^2·e^x; x)` returned the unsimplified
  Maxima string `((log(e)^2·x^2 − 2·log(e)·x + 2)·%e^(log(e)·x))/log(e)^3`
  which rendered as plain text. Now it renders as a proper formula.
- **Auto-subscript disabled**: `s1`, `s2`, `u1` no longer get silently
  rewritten to `s_1`, `s_2`, `u_1`. The user must use the explicit
  underscore notation (`s_1`) to get a subscript. `s1` stays as a
  literal identifier — both forms are valid Calcpad variables.

#### Comprehensive parser test

`Examples/Tests/test_PARSER_COMPLETO.cpd` exercises 30 sections covering
every directive in both inline and block form (identities, derivatives
with Greek letters and subscripts, integrals, matrices, `#sym`, `#inl`,
`#blk`, `#for`, `#if`, `#while`, `$Plot`, `$Map`, `$Sum`, `$Product`,
`$Integral`, `$Derivative`, `$Root`, `$Find`, cell arrays, units,
conversions). Renders with **0 errors**.

#### 🆕 v1.3.2 — `$DrawStruct` con primitivas de mecánica

Alias de `$Struct` (ambos nombres funcionan) — utility de **dibujo**
estructural con primitivas pre-renderizadas estilo libro de texto.
**No calcula nada**, solo dibuja. Para análisis usar `#sym`/`#deq`/`lsolve`.

Primitivas:
- **Estructurales:** `spring` (zigzag auto), `bar` (con hatches),
  `beam`, **`damper`** (cilindro pistón, nuevo), **`mass`** (rectángulo
  amarillo con borde grueso, nuevo), **`wall`** (línea + hatches, nuevo)
- **Apoyos:** `fixed`, `pin`, `roller`
- **Cargas:** `force` (flecha SALE del nodo, no entra),
  `moment` (arco curvo)
- **Anotación:** `node`, `label`, `dim`

Ejemplo masa-resorte 1 GDL completo:

```
$DrawStruct{
  fixed,0,0
  : spring,0,0,4,0,k=1000
  : mass,4.6,0,0.7,m
  : force,5.0,0,right,F(t)
  : dim,0,-1,5,-1,L_total
  @ title=Masa-resorte 1 GDL : w=700 : h=260
}
```

Sistema masa-resorte-amortiguador (k y c en paralelo):

```
$DrawStruct{
  fixed,0,0
  : spring,0,0.5,4,0.5,k
  : damper,0,-0.5,4,-0.5,c
  : mass,4.6,0,0.7,m
  : force,5.0,0,right,F(t)
  @ title=Masa-resorte-amortiguador : w=750 : h=320
}
```

Ver `Examples/Tests/test_GRAFICAS_DRAW.cpd` para 11 ejemplos
(funciones 1D, mapas 2D, charts, masa-resorte, viga simple, pórtico).

#### 🆕 v1.3.2 — `#svg` para diagramas didácticos con flujo de control

Bloque `#svg <w> <h>` ... `#end svg` con primitivas píxel-por-píxel:

- `.rect x y w h fillColor fillOpacity strokeColor strokeWidth`
- `.line x1 y1 x2 y2 color width`
- `.circle x y r color`
- `.arrow x1 y1 x2 y2 color width`
- `.text x y label size color align [style]`
- `.arc x y r startAngle endAngle color width`

Soporta variables Calcpad y **estructuras de control** (`#for`, `#if`)
dentro del bloque. Ejemplo de zigzag con loop:

```
#svg 480 160
.rect 0 0 480 160 #f5f5f5 1 #888 1
#for k = 0 : 12
    x1 = 60 + k*20
    y1 = 80 + 20*(-1)^k
    x2 = 60 + (k+1)*20
    y2 = 80 + 20*(-1)^(k+1)
    .line x1 y1 x2 y2 #555 2.5
#loop
#end svg
```

Cuándo usar cada uno:

| Querés... | Usá |
|---|---|
| Esquema estructural ya hecho (resorte, masa, viga, apoyo, fuerza) | `$DrawStruct{...}` |
| Diagrama didáctico con control píxel-por-píxel | `#svg ... #end svg` |
| CAD interactivo con pan/zoom | `$Draw{...}` |
| Funciones / vectores / curvas | `$Plot`, `$Map`, `$Chart` |

Ejemplos relacionados — los archivos FEA refactorizados a `#svg` con `#for`/`#if`:
- `Examples/Mechanics/Finite Elements/Rectangular Slab FEA.cpd`
- `Examples/Mechanics/Finite Elements/Flat Slab FEA.cpd`
- `Examples/Mechanics/Finite Elements/Deep Beam FEA.cpd`

#### 🆕 v1.3.3 — Truncado agresivo de vectores y matrices largos

`MathSettings.MaxOutputCount` ahora tiene **default 5** (antes 20).
Vectores/matrices con más elementos se truncan automáticamente:

- Vectores **siempre horizontales** cuando son largos (antes una columna
  de 200 elementos generaba 200 líneas verticales que se salían del
  margen y saltaban de página)
- Truncado: muestra los primeros 5 + `⋯` + el **último** elemento, con
  tooltip `"N elementos saltados (vector de M elementos)"`
- Matrices: filas con `⋮`, columnas con `⋯`, esquina con `⋱`

```
                            antes (maxCount=20)    ahora (maxCount=5)
v_5    (5 elementos)         completo               completo
v_15   (15)                  completo               5 + ⋯ + último
v_50   (50)                  20 + ⋯ + último        5 + ⋯ + último
v_200  (200)                 20 + ⋯ + último        5 + ⋯ + último
M_50×50                      20×20 + ⋮⋯              5×5 + ⋮⋯
```

Cualquier vector ≥ 6 ocupa exactamente la misma altura visual, sin
importar si tiene 6 o 6 millones de elementos. Configurable entre 5 y
100 desde Settings → MaxOutputCount si necesitás ver más detalle.

Ver `Examples/Tests/test_vectores_largos.cpd`.

#### 🆕 v1.4 — 9 directivas web sin escribir HTML

El parser ahora tiene 9 bloques de visualización web. El usuario escribe
DSL puro (JSON, JS, LaTeX, DOT) entre `#<libreria>` ... `#end <libreria>`
y el parser inyecta automáticamente el `<div>`, el script de la lib desde
CDN (una sola vez por documento) y el wrapping JS necesario.

**SIN escribir ningún `<>` HTML.**

| Directiva | Librería | CDN | Para qué |
|---|---|---|---|
| `#plotly` | Plotly.js 2.35 | cdn.plot.ly | Gráficas científicas interactivas (3D surface, scatter, contour, hover, zoom) |
| `#three` | Three.js 0.160 | unpkg | 3D real con OrbitControls (modelos estructurales rotables) |
| `#mermaid` | Mermaid 10 | jsdelivr | Diagramas (flowchart, sequence, gantt, classDiagram, gitGraph, pie) |
| `#canvas` | HTML5 nativo | — | Dibujo 2D directo con `ctx`, sin librería externa |
| `#cyto` | Cytoscape 3 | unpkg | Grafos científicos (sparsity de matrices, networks de nodos) |
| `#dot` | Graphviz (viz-js) | unpkg | Diagramas declarativos en sintaxis DOT |
| `#jsx` | JSXGraph 1.10 | jsdelivr | Geometría dinámica (puntos arrastrables, áreas reactivas) |
| `#map` | Leaflet 1.9 | unpkg | Mapas geográficos (PGA hazard, ubicación de proyectos) |
| `#math` | KaTeX 0.16 | jsdelivr | LaTeX completo con `\boxed`, `\frac`, matrices, integrales |

**Sintaxis común:**
```
#<libreria> [W] [H]
 ... contenido (DSL/JSON/JS/LaTeX según librería) ...
#end <libreria>
```

**Ejemplos rápidos:**

```
#plotly
{ data: [{x:[1,2,3], y:[4,5,6], type:'scatter'}], layout: {title:'demo'} }
#end plotly

#mermaid
flowchart TD
  D[DEAD] --> C1[1.4D]
  D --> C2[1.2D + 1.6L]
#end mermaid

#dot
digraph G { rankdir=LR; A -> B [label="x"]; B -> C; }
#end dot

#math
\frac{\partial^4 w}{\partial x^4} + 2\frac{\partial^4 w}{\partial x^2\partial y^2} + \frac{\partial^4 w}{\partial y^4} = \frac{q}{D}
#end math

#three
const cube = new THREE.Mesh(
    new THREE.BoxGeometry(2,2,2),
    new THREE.MeshStandardMaterial({color:0xffd966}));
scene.add(cube);
camera.position.set(5,5,5);
scene.add(new THREE.AmbientLight(0xffffff,1));
#end three
```

**Notas técnicas:**
- Los operadores ASCII (`<=`, `>=`, `==`, `!=`) que el lexer de Calcpad
 normalmente sustituye a Unicode (`≤`, `≥`, `≡`, `≢`) son **revertidos
 automáticamente** dentro de los bloques web — sin esto el JS quedaría roto.
- Three.js usa **importmap** inyectado para resolver el bare specifier
 `'three'` (necesario para que OrbitControls funcione).
- Para abrir un HTML generado, usar `http://` (file:// bloquea iframes
 y módulos por seguridad). Ej: `python -m http.server 8000`.

### 5c. Cell Arrays — `cells(n)` (Matlab-style)

Store multiple matrices in a single indexed container. Natively integrated with `#for` loops for FEM element assembly workflows.

```
K = cells(4)                       ← create container for 4 matrices

#for i = 1 : 4
    K.(i) = (E*A/L.(i))*[1;-1|-1;1]  ← assign matrix at slot i
#loop

K                                  ← render: [M₁ M₂ M₃ M₄] side by side
K.(2)                              ← access individual matrix (2nd slot)
K_sum = K.(1) + K.(2) + K.(3)      ← operations between cell elements
```

**Visual**: renders as `[ matrix_1  matrix_2  matrix_3 ... ]` with a single outer bracket container stretched to the full height of the matrices.

Use case: storing element stiffness matrices (`K_e`) in FEM without flattening into a giant global matrix. Direct translation of Matlab cell arrays like `K_e{i}`.

### 6. Layout Directives — `#inl`, `#blk`, `#cen`, `#margen`, `#pgb`

**Inline columns:** `#inl A = 5 ; B = 3 ; C = 8` — N columns in one line.

**Block columns:** `#blk` ... `#end blk` — multiple rows of columns.

**Center:** `#cen expr` (inline) or `#cen` ... `#end cen` (block).

**Margin:** `#margen 20` ... `#end margen` — justified text with margins.

**Page break:** `#pgb` — for PDF/Word export.

**Spacing:** three equivalent ways to force a non-breaking space:
- `~` — Calcpad shortcut (converts to `&nbsp;`)
- `&nbsp;` — HTML entity (explicit, standard)
- literal space — single space preserved, but browsers collapse multiples visually

For precise spacing/alignment use `~` or `&nbsp;`. For normal text, plain spaces are fine.

### 7. Tables — `$Table`

Generate HTML tables from vectors and matrices:
```
$Table{v1; v2 @ "Header1"; "Header2" & fmt=3 & row=1}
```
Options: `fmt=N` (decimals), `row=1` (row numbers), `border=0`, `zebra=0`.

### 8. Vector Rendering — Row and Column

Vectors with `;` render as **horizontal row**: `v = [1; 2; 3]`

`transp(v)` renders as **vertical column** with arrow.

Matrices with `|` render as vertical: `M = [1; 2|3; 4]`

### 9. User-Defined Functions — `#function` / `#end function`

Multi-line functions with parameter isolation. Return scalars, vectors, or matrices.

### 10. Interactive FEM Visualization — $Fem2D, $Fem3D, $Chart, $Draw, $Mesh

**$Fem2D** — 2D finite element mesh visualization (Three.js interactive)
**$Fem3D** — 3D finite element visualization with rotation/zoom
**$Chart** — Interactive charts with customizable styling (light theme)
**$Draw** — Vector drawings with line, arrow, circle, text, fillrect, hdim
**$Mesh** — SVG mesh with supports, loads, color-mapped results

### 8. Unit Operators Enhanced — `&` and `|` with Arrays

**Original CalcpadCE:** `&` and `|` only worked with scalars.

**New — Adimensionalization with arrays:**
```
u = lsolve(K; F) & [cm; cm; rad]
```
Strips ALL units from the computation (adimensionalizes to SI), then stamps each element with the specified unit.

**New — Conversion with arrays:**
```
u | [cm; cm; rad]
```
Converts each element to the specified unit (compatible units required).

**Matrix unit arrays:**
```
K & [tonf/m; tonf | tonf; tonf*m]
```

### 9. New Matrix Functions

- **lsolve**(K; F) — solve linear system
- **clsolve**(K; F) — complex linear solver
- **slsolve**(K; F), **smsolve**(K; F) — sparse solvers
- **hprod** — Hadamard product (element-wise)
- **fprod** — Frobenius product (matrix inner product)
- **kprod** — Kronecker product
- **matrix_hp**, **diagonal_hp**, **column_hp** — high-precision variants

### 10. Vector Display — Vertical Column Format

Vectors now display vertically (as columns) like matrices, matching standard math notation.

### 11. FEM Graphics Library — Include/FEM_Graphics.cpd

Macro library with predefined SVG functions for FEM diagrams:
- Joints, elements, labels, boundary conditions (pin, fixed, roller)
- Loading (distributed, point force, moment)
- Color mapping (blue to green to yellow to red gradient)

### 12. `$Table` — HTML Tables from Vectors/Matrices (NEW)

Generate formatted HTML tables directly from computed vectors and matrices.

```
$Table{v1; v2; v3 @ "Header1"; "Header2"; "Header3" & fmt=3 & row=1}
$Table{M @ "Col A"; "Col B"; "Col C" & fmt=2 & row=1 & border=1 & zebra=1}
```

**Options:** `fmt=N` (decimal places), `row=1` (show row numbers), `border=0` (hide borders), `zebra=0` (no alternating rows).

Ideal for FEM result tables: bolt reactions, nodal displacements, element forces.

### 14. `$PlotMap` — FEM Color Maps on Arbitrary Geometry (NEW)

Render color maps (contour plots) on arbitrary finite element meshes — triangles, quads, or mixed.

```
$PlotMap{xj; yj; values; ej}
```

- **xj, yj** — node coordinate vectors
- **values** — scalar field per node (displacement, stress, pressure, etc.)
- **ej** — connectivity matrix (each row = node indices of one element, 1-based)

**Features:**
- Pixel-by-pixel rasterization with inverse bilinear mapping (Newton iteration)
- Phong shadow lighting from surface gradients
- Rainbow colormap with discrete bands (same palette as $Map)
- Automatic dual-legend when two separate element groups are detected (e.g., two footings)
- Per-group min/max color scaling for full color variation in each group
- Element edge mesh overlay in semi-transparent black

Ideal for FEM results on non-rectangular geometry: trapezoidal plates, footings with tie beams, irregular meshes.

### 15. Native 3D FEM Solver — `fem_hex8` (NEW, Apr 2026)

**4000 hex8 solved in under 11 seconds** — native C# assembly + Eigen sparse
Cholesky (`HpSymmetricMatrix.ClSolve`). No Calcpad `#for` loops, no RAM
explosion. Suitable for **soil mechanics**, **concrete foundations**, and
**3D continuum problems** directly from a Calcpad document.

**Functions added to the Calcpad language:**

```calcpad
' Auto-generate regular hex8 mesh (centered at origin)
nodes = mesh_hex8_nodes([Lx; Ly; Lz; nx; ny; nz; 1])
elems = mesh_hex8_elems([nx; ny; nz])

' Auto-generate loads + BCs for a "soil box" problem
' (base + lateral faces fixed + point load at top center)
specs = mesh_soil_specs([Lx; Ly; Lz; nx; ny; nz; 1; Pz])

' Variant with RECTANGULAR distributed load (SAP2000 surface pressure)
specs = mesh_soil_specs_rect([Lx; Ly; Lz; nx; ny; nz; 1; Rx; Ry; q])

' Solve Ku = F → returns vector of 3N displacements
u = fem_hex8(nodes; elems; E; nu; specs)

' Compute nodal stress matrix [S11, S22, S33, S12, S23, S13]
stress = fem_hex8_stress(nodes; elems; E; nu; u)
s33 = col(stress; 3)  ' vertical normal stress

' Visualize with SAP2000-style color map + interactive clipping planes
$Fem3D{col(nodes;1); col(nodes;2); col(nodes;3); elems; s33}
```

**Implementation highlights** (`Symbolic.Core/Calculator/FemSolver.cs`):
- **C3D8 element** (8-node linear hex, 24 DOF, trilinear shape functions)
- **Gauss 2×2×2 integration** (8 points per element)
- **6×6 isotropic D matrix** with Lamé parameters (λ, µ)
- **Sparse global K** assembled directly in `HpSymmetricMatrix` (skyline)
- **Eigen C++ `SimplicialLDLT`** for matrices ≥ threshold (auto)
- **Penalty BCs** with coefficient 1e20
- **Nodal stress** via element-center evaluation + averaging

**Validation vs SAP2000:**

| Problem | SAP2000 | Calcpad `fem_hex8` | Diff |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cube 1×1×1 m uniaxial compression | σ = −100 kN/m² | σ = −100 kN/m² | **0.01%** |
| Soil mass 20×20×10 m (Serquén PDF Fig. SF-70) rectangular load | S33_min = −10.4 | S33_min = −9.72 | **6.6%** |

(Serquén uses 32000 hex8, we use 4000 — difference is purely mesh refinement.)

**Visualization — `$Fem3D` with interactive clipping planes (Tweakpane):**
- `renderer.localClippingEnabled = true` (Three.js)
- 6 clipping planes (X/Y/Z min/max) with correct Y↔Z swap
- **Tweakpane GUI** (same library as `awatif-v2`) with folders per axis
- **SAP2000 colormap**: 14 colors (magenta → red → yellow → green → cyan → blue)
- **ShaderMaterial with 1D texture lookup** — interpolates by VALUE, not RGB
- **White background + black wireframe** — Abaqus/SAP2000 style

**Example files:**
- `Examples/Finite Elements/test_fem_hex8.cpd` — cube validation

### Parity Map vs Upstream Calcpad (Codeberg)

**Calcpad-Symbolic is a strict superset of upstream Calcpad** (https://codeberg.org/proektsoft/Calcpad). Every parser file, keyword, and SolverType that exists in upstream is also present here, with identical semantics. Symbolic adds 7 new parser files, 3 ExpressionParser sub-files, and ~45 new keywords on top — but never removes or breaks anything from upstream.

This map was generated by auditing both forks side-by-side (May 2026).

#### Parity test files

To verify operational parity after any future change, re-render the 5 tests in `Examples/Tests Paridad/`:

| Test | What it exercises | Parser areas covered |
|---|---|---|
| `01_solve_block.cpd` | All 14 SolverTypes | `MathParser.SolveBlock.cs` |
| `02_units_io.cpd` | Unit arithmetic, conversion, comparison, vectors | `UnitsParser.cs`, `ExpressionParser.ReadWriteOptions.cs` |
| `03_control_flow.cpd` | Nested `#if/#while/#for/#break/#continue/#trace` | `ExpressionParser.Keywords.cs`, `ExpressionParser.Loops.cs` |
| `04_macros_funcs.cpd` | Inline functions, macros, `#function`, `Local`, `$Product` | `MacroParser.cs`, `MathParser.CustomFunction.cs` |
| `05_plot_and_map.cpd` | `$Plot`, `$Map`, `$PlotMap`, `#svg`, `#chart`, `#math`, `#mermaid` | `PlotParser.cs`, `MapParser.cs`, `PlotMapParser.cs`, `VizParser.cs` |

If all five render with **0 errors**, there's no regression vs upstream. The latest audit (May 2026) confirms 5/5 clean.

### Operadores simbólicos en matrices/vectores

`pdiff()`, `diff()`, `integrate()` ahora se traducen a los solvers nativos `$slope{...}` / `$area{...}` y se pueden usar dentro de literales de matriz, incluyendo multi-row e integrales múltiples (doble, triple):

```calcpad
g(x; y; z) = x^2 + y^2 + z^2
'Triple integral en cubo unitario:'integrate(integrate(integrate(g(x;y;z); z; 0; 1); y; 0; 1); x; 0; 1)
'(esperado: 1)
'Matriz Jacobiana de gradiente:
J(ξ; η) = [pdiff(N_1(ξ;η); ξ); pdiff(N_2(ξ;η); ξ) | pdiff(N_1(ξ;η); η); pdiff(N_2(ξ;η); η)]
J(0; 0)  ' evalúa numéricamente con central FD
```

#python
from sympy import symbols, diff, integrate, solve, sin
x = symbols('x')
print(f"diff(x^3) = {diff(x**3, x)}")
print(f"solve(x^2-4) = {solve(x**2 - 4, x)}")
#end python
```

OpenSeesPy example:
```
#python
import openseespy.opensees as ops
ops.wipe()
ops.model('basic', '-ndm', 2, '-ndf', 3)
# ... define model ...
ops.analyze(1)
uy = ops.nodeDisp(2, 2)
print(f"uy = {uy}")
print(f"CALCPAD:uy={uy}")
ops.wipe()
#end python

'Result from OpenSeesPy:
uy
```

### #maxima — Maxima CAS

Bridges to the [Maxima](https://maxima.sourceforge.io/) CAS and re-renders the 1-D
result as native Calcpad math. Each statement prints as `operation = result`.

**Block form** (state carries across statements; `;` shows the value):

```
#maxima
diff(x^2 + 3*x + 1, x);          'd/dx (x²+3·x+1) = 2·x+3
integrate(x^2, x, 0, 1);         '∫₀¹ x² dx = 1/3
solve(x^2 - 4, x);               'x²−4 = [x=−2, x=2]
laplace(sin(t), t, s);           'ℒ{sin(t)} = 1/(s²+1)
ode2('diff(y,x,2) + 4*y = 0, y, x);
taylor(sin(x), x, 0, 7);         'sin(x) = x − x³/6 + x⁵/120 − x⁷/5040
A: matrix([a, b], [c, d]);       'A = [a b | c d]
determinant(A);                  'det A = a·d − b·c
invert(A);                       'A⁻¹ = [ … ]
eigenvalues(A);                  'λ(A) = [ … ]
#end maxima
```

**Inline form** — one expression per line, no `#end`:

```
#maxima diff(x^3 + 2*x, x)
#maxima factor(x^2 - 1)
```

**Partial derivatives** are detected automatically from the operand's variables:

```
#maxima
diff(x^3 + 2*x, x);       'd/dx  (single variable → ordinary)
diff(x^2*y + y^3, x);     '∂/∂x  (has y → partial)
diff(x^2*y^3, x, 1, y, 1);'∂²/∂x∂y  (mixed partial)
#end maxima
```

**Notation map:** `integrate`→`∫`, `diff`→`d/dx` · `∂/∂x`, `determinant`→`det`,
`invert`→`A⁻¹`, `transpose`→`Aᵀ`, `laplace`→`ℒ{·}`, `ilt`→`ℒ⁻¹{·}`, `limit`→`lim`,
`abs`→`|·|`, `eigenvalues`→`λ(·)`. Commands without a standard symbol
(`solve`, `factor`, `expand`, `taylor`, `ratsimp`, …) drop the command word and
show only the operand and result.

> Both `.cpd` (legacy) and `.cpds` (native Symbolic) files are associated with
> Calcpad-Symbolic by the installer, so double-clicking either opens this app.

### #deq — Display Equations

```
#deq N_1 = (1 - xi)*(1 - eta)/4
#deq K = E*I/L^3*[12; 6*L; -12; 6*L | 6*L; 4*L^2; -6*L; 2*L^2 | -12; -6*L; 12; -6*L | 6*L; 2*L^2; -6*L; 4*L^2]
```

### #function — User Functions

```
#function FrameKe(E; A; L)
k = E*A/L
FrameKe = k*[1; -1 | -1; 1]
#end function

K = FrameKe(200000; 0.01; 3)
```

### Unit Arrays — & and |

```
'Adimensionalize and stamp:
u = lsolve(K; F) & [cm; cm; rad]

'Convert per element:
u | [mm; mm; rad]

'Matrix units:
K & [kN/m; kN | kN; kN*m]

## Gauss Quadrature — pedagogical primer (Q4 FEM)

This section condenses the contents of `Examples/Mechanics/Finite Elements/sin unidades/Cuadratura de Gauss - Tutorial.cpd` (16 SVGs + 8 Chart.js charts + 13 `#sym integrate()` calls). Open the file in Calcpad-Symbolic to see all visualizations rendered.

### Why these specific test functions?

When evaluating Gauss quadrature with `f(x) = 1, x, x², x³, x⁴, x⁶`, we are not testing arbitrary curves — we are testing the **LEGO building blocks** of every polynomial:

```
f(x) = a₀·1 + a₁·x + a₂·x² + a₃·x³ + a₄·x⁴ + …
```

Because integration is **linear** (`∫(a·f + b·g) = a·∫f + b·∫g`), if a quadrature rule integrates each piece exactly, it integrates ANY polynomial built from those pieces exactly. So testing the pieces tells us the full operating range.

### The rule — N points integrate exactly up to degree (2N - 1)

| N points | Positions (Gauss-Legendre on [-1, +1]) | Weights | Exact up to degree |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | `0` | `2` | 1 (lines) |
| 2 | `±1/√3 ≈ ±0.5774` | `1, 1` | 3 (cubics) |
| 3 | `±√(3/5) ≈ ±0.7746, 0` | `5/9, 8/9, 5/9` | 5 (quintics) |

Symbolic verification (these are the values `#sym integrate(...; x; -1; 1)` emits):

| Piece | Exact integral | 1-pt result | 2-pt result | 3-pt result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `1` | `2` | `2` ✓ | `2` ✓ | `2` ✓ |
| `x` | `0` | `0` ✓ | `0` ✓ | `0` ✓ |
| `x²` | `2/3 ≈ 0.667` | `0` ✗ | `2/3` ✓ | `2/3` ✓ |
| `x³` | `0` | `0` ✓ | `0` ✓ | `0` ✓ |
| `x⁴` | `2/5 = 0.4` | `0` ✗ | `2/9 ≈ 0.222` ✗ | `2/5` ✓ |
| `x⁶` | `2/7 ≈ 0.286` | `0` ✗ | `2/27 ≈ 0.074` ✗ | `0.246` ✗ |

### Why Q4 membrane needs **2×2 Gauss**

The Q4 shape functions are **bilinear** (degree 1 in each variable):

```
N₁(ξ, η) = (1-ξ)·(1-η)/4
N₂(ξ, η) = (1+ξ)·(1-η)/4
N₃(ξ, η) = (1+ξ)·(1+η)/4
N₄(ξ, η) = (1-ξ)·(1+η)/4
```

Their derivatives are LINEAR (degree 1). When we form `Bᵀ·D·B` for the stiffness integrand we get products `linear × linear = QUADRATIC` (degree 2 in ξ, degree 2 in η).

For example, `(Bᵀ·D·B)[1,1]` contains `(1 - η)²` which expanded by `#sym expand((1-η)²)` gives:

```
(1 - η)² = 1 - 2·η + η²
           ↑    ↑    ↑
         deg 0 deg 1 deg 2
```

The **highest-degree piece is η²** (degree 2). So the rule must be exact for degree 2:
- `N = 1` ⇒ exact up to degree 1 ⇒ MISSES degree 2 ⇒ K_e under-integrated ⇒ **hourglass modes**.
- `N = 2` ⇒ exact up to degree 3 ⇒ COVERS degree 2 ⇒ **full integration, correct K_e**.
- `N = 3` ⇒ exact up to degree 5 ⇒ identical K_e to 2×2, just slower CPU.

### Decision table — when to use each rule

| Problem | Quadrature | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Q4 membrane (plane stress) | **2×2** | Integrand degree 2 |
| Mindlin plate **thick** (t/L > 0.1) | **2×2** | No shear locking risk |
| Mindlin plate **thin** (t/L < 0.05) | **2×2 bending + 1×1 shear (selective)** | 2×2 shear would lock |
| Q4 element **distorted** (curved sides) | **3×3** | det(J) no longer constant — effective degree > 2 |
| Q9 / Q8 (quadratic shape functions) | **3×3 obligatory** | Shape functions degree 2 → Bᵀ·D·B degree 4 |
| Nearly incompressible (ν → 0.5, rubber, saturated soil) | **2×2 deviatoric + 1×1 volumetric (B-bar)** | Volumetric locking |
| ABAQUS S4R shell / C3D8R brick | **1×1 + hourglass control** | 8× faster than full integration |
| Plasticity with non-linear hardening | **3×3 or higher** | Better spatial resolution of yielding |

### The balance analogy (intuition)

The stiffness integrand is a **SUM of pieces** of different polynomial degrees mixed together. Think of integrating it as **weighing several objects at once**. The Gauss rule is the balance. You need a balance strong enough for the HEAVIEST object — once you have that, every lighter object (and any combination) also weighs correctly.

```
Q4 stiffness:  heaviest piece = degree 2 → balance = 2-point Gauss
Q9 stiffness:  heaviest piece = degree 4 → balance = 3-point Gauss
```

### Symbolic vs numeric partial derivatives

For computing `∂f/∂x` of FEM shape functions (the `B` matrix), Calcpad-Symbolic offers BOTH:

```calcpad
'Numerical partial derivative ($Slope, central differences):
f(x; y) = x^2 + 3*x*y + y^2
f_x(x) = f(x; 1)
df_dx_at_2_1 = $Slope{f_x(x) @ x = 2}     'gives 7

'Symbolic partial derivative (#sym pdiff, AngouriMath):
#sym pdiff(x^2 + 3*x*y + y^2; x)          'returns the expression 2x + 3y

'Symbolic gradient, hessian, jacobian:
#sym gradient(x^2 + 3*x*y + y^2; x; y)    'returns [2x + 3y; 3x + 2y]
#sym hessian(x^3 + x*y^2; x; y)           'returns [[6x, 2y], [2y, 2x]]
#sym jacobian(r*cos(θ); r*sin(θ); r; θ)   'polar→cartesian Jacobian
```

## Pitfalls & Best Practices — `#deq`, `#sym`, layout, HTML

> Verified empirically with `Examples/Finite Elements/TEST_sintaxis.cpd` against the
> Apr-26-2026 build of `Symbolic.Cli`. Run that test file with the **current** `Cli.exe`
> from `Symbolic.Cli/bin/Release/net10.0/` to reproduce. **Do not use older binaries** —
> they don't recognize newer keywords (`#margen`, `#pgb`, `#blq`) and report
> `Invalid symbol: "#"` on line 1 of any file using them.

### Visibility modes — `#val`, `#equ`, `#noc`

| Directive | `_isVal` | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| `#val` | 1 | Show **only the numeric value** (substituted, no formula) |
| `#equ` | 0 | Default — show formula AND value (`F = m·a = 5·2 = 10`) |
| `#noc` | -1 | **No calculation** — show formula symbolically, no substitution |

`#noc` ... `#equ` blocks are useful to **type matrix equations as text** without Calcpad evaluating them:

```
#noc
[F_1|F_2] = [k_e; -k_e|-k_e; k_e]*[u_1|u_2]
#equ
```

### Layout — `#blk`, `#inl`, `#cen`, `#pgb`, `#margen`

| Directive | Mode | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| `#inl A=5 ; B=3 ; C=8` | inline | N columns in one line (separated by `;`) |
| `#blk` ... `#end blk` | block | Multi-row column layout |
| `#cen expr` | inline | Center single line |
| `#cen` ... `#end cen` | block | Center entire block |
| `#pgb` | inline | Page break (PDF/DOCX only — empty `<div class="pgb">` in HTML) |
| `#margen 20` ... `#end margen` | block | Justified text with 20mm margins both sides (default 15mm) |

### `#deq` — what works and what doesn't

| Pattern | Result | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `#deq y = a*x + b` | ✅ math | Basic algebra |
| `#deq E = m*c^2` | ✅ superscript | `^` for single-char exponent |
| `#deq u_1 = N_1*ua` | ✅ subscript | `_1` works (numeric) |
| `#deq v_max = 5*q*L^4` | ✅ subscript | `_max` works (alphabetic, no braces) |
| `#deq σ_xx = E*ε_xx` | ✅ subscript | Greek + multi-char subscript works |
| `#deq T_{max} = K*L^2` | ✅ subscript | **`_{...}` LaTeX braces work** — extract subscript content |
| `#deq A^{2} = π*r^2` | ⚠️ partial | **`^{...}` braces fail** — `A^{2}` shows literally (asymmetric with `_{...}`) |
| `#deq F = m*a @@(2da ley)` | ✅ eqnum | **`@@(text)` produces equation number on the right** (CSS class `.eqn`) |
| `#deq v''''(x) = q(x) @@(EDP)` | ✅ eqnum | Works even with multiple primes |
| `#deq v(x) = a_1*φ_1(x) + a_2*φ_2(x)` | ⚠️ varies | Long sum with `(x)` argument may render plain — split into multiple lines |
| `#deq U = ∫f(x)dx` | ⚠️ math literal | Integral symbol renders, but content shows multiplication dots |
| `#deq U = ∫*f(x)*dx` | ❌ asterisks visible | `*` between integrand parts displays literally — use HTML for clean integrals |
| `#deq U = ∫_{0}^{L} f dx` | ❌ shows `∫0{L}` | Underscore before `{` is stripped, content not nested under integral |
| `#deq E = m*c^2 — formula` | ❌ "Invalid symbol —" | **Em dash inside `#deq` breaks the AngouriMath parser** |
| `#deq` (alone) ... `#end deq` | ✅ block | Multi-line block — use `#deq` alone on its line, content next, then `#end deq` |
| `#deq θ_x = -∂w/∂y, θ_y = ∂w/∂x` | ✅ multi | Top-level `,` splits into multiple equations on the same `#deq` line |

**Best practice for integrals:** for complex limits, use HTML — produces visually cleaner output:
```
'U = (1/2) ∫₀L EI · (d²v/dx²)² dx
'K_e = ∫₋₁1 ∫₋₁1 BT·D·B·|J| dξ dη
```

### `#sym` — what works and what doesn't

| Pattern | Result | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `diff(expr; x)` | ✅ | 1st derivative |
| `diff(expr; x; n)` | ✅ | **n-th derivative** (undocumented; see `SymbolicProcessor.cs:147`). Internal loop: `for i in 0..n: r = r.Differentiate(v)` |
| `diff(diff(f; x); x)` | ❌ stack overflow | **Nested `diff` does NOT work** — use `diff(f; x; 2)` |
| `integrate(x^2; x)` | ✅ | Indefinite integral |
| `integrate(x^2; x; 0; 2)` | ✅ | Definite with **numeric** bounds |
| `integrate(x; x; 0; L)` | ⚠️ may hang | **Definite with symbolic bound** can stack-overflow AngouriMath. Stay with indefinite + describe bounds in text |
| `integrate(sin(π*x/L)^2; x)` | ⚠️ may hang | `sin²` with symbolic compound argument recurses infinitely |
| `simplify((1-ν)/(2*(1-ν^2)))` | ⚠️ may hang | **Simplify with single-char Greek (ν, ξ, η)** can stack-overflow. Workaround: rename to Roman (`nu`, `r`, `s`) |
| `simplify(N1+N2+N3+N4)` (sum of 4 products) | ⚠️ may hang | OOM on large symbolic sums |
| `expand((a+b)^3)` | ✅ | |
| `factor(x^2-4)` | ✅ | |
| `solve(x^2-5*x+6; x)` | ✅ | Polynomial solver |
| `pdiff(x^2*y; x)` | ✅ | Partial derivative |
| `gradient(x^2+y^2; x; y)` | ✅ | Vector calculus |

**Why nested `diff` fails:** `Diff()` returns a `SymResult` containing a presentation tag `TAG_DERIV|d|dx|body` (string with metadata for rendering the `d/dx` fraction), **not** an AngouriMath `Entity`. The outer `diff` cannot re-parse it. Use the 3-arg form.

**Recommendation for symbolic Greek arguments:** if `#sym simplify`/`#sym integrate` hangs, **rename single-char Greek to Roman**:
- `ν` → `nu`
- `ξ` → `r`  (or `xi`)
- `η` → `s`  (or `eta`)
- `θ` → `theta`
- `π` → leave (AngouriMath knows π is a constant)

### Escape rules for `'`-prefixed HTML lines

The leading `'` starts a comment-as-HTML line. Inside that line:

| Pattern | Result |
|---|---|
| `'texto sin apostrofes` | ✅ |
| `'x1 + y2` | ✅ HTML subs/sups |
| `'Esto es importante — muy.` | ✅ Em dash in HTML text fine |
| `'los '60 fueron decisivos` | ❌ Apostrophe **closes** comment context, rest parsed as math, errors |
| `'derivada w' a coincidir — ...` | ❌ Same — `w'` closes context, em-dash invalid in math |
| `'kPa (concreto f'c 4000 psi)` | ❌ `f'c` closes the comment in a regular comment line |

**Rule:** any **additional** `'` inside a `'`-line closes the comment context. Everything after is parsed as a Calcpad expression. Use `anios 60`, `dw/dx`, `fc`, etc.

### Quick checklist before rendering

- [ ] Use the **current** `Cli.exe` (Apr 2026 build or later) — older builds reject `#margen`, `#pgb`, `#blq`
- [ ] Avoid `^{...}` LaTeX braces in `#deq` (use `^N` for single chars; `^{N}` shows literally)
- [ ] No em dashes (`—`) inside `#deq` (use them only in `'` HTML)
- [ ] No additional apostrophes inside `'`-prefixed comment lines
- [ ] **Nested `diff(diff(...))` now WORKS** since `SymbolicProcessor.cs` v1.3.3 (May 2026) — recursively resolves inner symbolic calls before applying the outer derivative
- [ ] No `simplify(...)` of expressions with single-char Greek vars (rename to Roman)
- [ ] Definite `integrate(...; var; 0; L)` with symbolic bound — risky; use indefinite + describe bounds in text
- [ ] For clean integrals with limits, use HTML `∫₀L` instead of `#deq`

## Mixing text + math + symbolic in the same line — Inline mode

Calcpad has rich support for mixing text and math in a single line. The rules
take some practice — see `Examples/Finite Elements/TEST_inline.cpd` for a
12-block test that exercises every pattern. Here are the working idioms:

### Rule 1 — `'` toggles between Text and Math mode

A line that starts with `'` is in **Text mode**. Each additional `'` toggles to
**Math mode** (and back). This means the count of apostrophes matters.

### Rule 2 — Inline `#deq` and `#sym` directly in text

```
'La 2da ley es '#deq F = m*a' fundamental.
'Derivada cubica '#sym diff(x^3; x; 3)' constante.
```

Pattern: `'<text>'<directive>'<more text>`. The first `'` opens text, the second
`'` switches to math (where the directive lives), the third `'` returns to text.
Renders as: *La 2da ley es F = m·a fundamental.*

### Rule 3 — Inline `$Sum`, `$Integral`, `$Product`

These need an explicit assignment: `varname = $Cmd{...}`. The pattern is
**different** from `#deq`/`#sym`:

```
'Suma -'S = $Sum{i^2 @ i = 1 : 10}
'Trabajo -'W = $Integral{k*x @ x = 0 : 1}
'Factorial -'P = $Product{i @ i = 1 : 5}
```

The `'` inside text closes the comment, then `S = $Sum{...}` is parsed as a
calculation. Result: *Suma - S = Σᵢ₌₁¹⁰ i² = 385*. Note: do **not** wrap
`$Sum{...}` between two apostrophes — that treats it as text and shows
`$Sum{...}` literally.

### Rule 4 — Permissive inline math (v1.3+)

Bare math identities work without any directive (auto-detected and routed to
display renderer):

```
'Identidad: '(a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2*a*b + b^2' clasica.
'Biharmonica: 'd^4*w/dx^4 + 2*d^4*w/dx^2*dy^2 + d^4*w/dy^4 = q/D_f' multi-termino.
```

If you reference variables that aren't yet defined, Calcpad falls back to
display mode instead of erroring. Useful for citing formulas before computing.

### Rule 5 — Numeric values mixed in text

The cleanest way to mix numeric results with text is to **define variables in
their own block lines**, then reference them in `'` HTML:

```
masa = 5
g = 9.81
P = masa*g

'Para masa=5kg y g=9.81 m/s² el peso es P = 49.05 N.
```

If you want the *substitution chain* visible (`P = m·g = 5·9.81 = 49.05`), put
the calculation on its own line **without** `'`:

```
masa = 5
g = 9.81
P = masa*g    ← shows: P = m·g = 5·9.81 = 49.05 with substitution arrows
```

### Rule 6 — Block mode for complex multi-line content

When a line gets too cluttered or you want each item visually separated, use
block form. Every directive has a block counterpart:

| Inline | Block |
|---|---|
| `'foo '#deq F = k*x' bar` | `#deq F = k*x` (alone on a line) |
| `'foo '#sym diff(x^3; x)' bar` | `#sym` ... `diff(x^3; x)` ... `#end sym` |
| `'foo '$Sum{i @ i=1:5}'` | (always on its own line — no block form) |

### Cookbook

```
"Section title — inline mixed
'The cinetic energy of a body is '#deq E_c = (1/2)*m*v^2'
'where m is mass and v is velocity. The derivative w.r.t. v
'is '#sym diff((1/2)*m*v^2; v)' which equals momentum p = m·v.

"Block form of the same content
#deq E_c = (1/2)*m*v^2

#sym
diff((1/2)*m*v^2; v)
#end sym

'The above shows the kinetic energy formula and its derivative
'as separate display equations.

"Numeric example
m = 2     'kg
v = 10    'm/s
E_c = (1/2)*m*v^2     'Joules

'Para m=2 kg y v=10 m/s la energia cinetica vale E_c = 100 J.
```

## Changelog

### v1.8.18 (May 2026) — Parity audit + Gauss tutorial + SIN UNIDADES folder

**Examples reorganized + new pedagogy:**
- New folder `Examples/Mechanics/Finite Elements/sin unidades/` consolidates all 10 SIN UNIDADES FEM examples (apostrofé text-only unit decoration) — removed `_ejemplo_sin_unidades` suffix.
- Removed `& kN/m^2` anti-pattern in 3 SIN UNIDADES files (Shell Q4, Membrane Q4, Reissner) — the conversion operator only makes sense with real units, not decorative text.
- `Plate Theory - Mindlin.cpd`: fixed Winkler sign convention (now `q = k_w * w` matches the displayed formula; clamp `q > 0` instead of `q < 0`); added explicit Mx, My moment load documentation; rewrote input section with `#blk` tabular display.
- New file `Cuadratura de Gauss - Tutorial.cpd`: 100% visual tutorial of Gauss quadrature with 13 SVGs, 8 Chart.js charts, 13 `#sym integrate()` calls (real symbolic integration via AngouriMath), explicit "section 0" explaining LEGO-piece decomposition of polynomials and why we test on `1, x, x², x³, x⁴`, plus practical Section 5 covering when to use 1×1, 2×2, 3×3, and selective integration in commercial software contexts.
- New `Examples/Tests Paridad/` folder with 5 parity tests (`01_solve_block`, `02_units_io`, `03_control_flow`, `04_macros_funcs`, `05_plot_and_map`) — re-render any time after parser changes to detect regression vs upstream.

**README:**
- New section "Parity Map vs Upstream Calcpad" documenting parser-file inventory, keyword inventory, and SolverType parity. Audit confirms Symbolic is a strict superset (~45 extra keywords, 7 extra parsers, 0 missing from upstream).

### v1.8.17 (May 2026) — Legacy `;` split requires whitespace before next `'`

User found: `'texto;'; 'otro'` was producing THREE cells instead of two
because the inside-text legacy lookahead saw `;` followed by `'` and
treated it as the start of a new cell — but that `'` was actually the
CLOSING quote of the current text region (`'texto;'`).

Tightened the rule: the legacy `'a ; 'b` shorthand requires AT LEAST
ONE SPACE between `;` and the next `'`. Without the space, the `'`
after `;` is treated as a region CLOSER and the `;` stays as literal
text inside the cell.

```cpd
'texto;'; 'otro'            → TWO cells: "texto;" | "otro"  (was 3 cells before)
'texto'; 'otro'              → TWO cells: "texto" | "otro"
'texto; '; 'otro'            → TWO cells: "texto;" | "otro"   (space after ; still ok)
'a + b ; a + b               → ONE cell (no `'` after ;)
'1 DOF (barra) ; '2DOF        → TWO cells (legacy lookahead: space + `'`)
```

### v1.8.16 (May 2026) — Re-apply text-aware `;` split + highlighter cell-boundary

User feedback after v1.8.15: `'a + b ; a + b` should be ONE pure-text
cell, not two — anything inside an open `'` region (including `;`) is
text. v1.8.15's "always split" was too aggressive.

Re-applied the text-aware split with lookahead (originally v1.8.13):
  - `;` outside an open text region → split (predictable).
  - `;` inside an open text region:
      * followed by `'` → split (legacy `'cell1 ; 'cell2` form).
      * NOT followed by `'` → literal char, no split.

Plus: when the WPF highlighter is inside `#blk`/`#inl`/`#cen` and hits
a `;` while a text region is open, the region is closed at the `;` so
the next `'` opens a FRESH region for cell 2 (otherwise the editor
treated the second `'` as a closer and tokenised cell 2's words as
expressions, painting them blue/red).

Combined effect (recommended forms):

```cpd
'a + b ; a + b              → ONE cell, pure text (with literal ;)
'frase con ; punto y coma   → ONE cell, pure text
'1 DOF (barra) ; '2DOF      → TWO cells (legacy lookahead)
'cell1'; 'cell2'             → TWO cells (closed quotes)
a + b ; c + d                → TWO cells (both expressions)
```

### v1.8.15 (May 2026) — Revert text-aware `;` split (predictability)

v1.8.13 made `;` literal inside an open text region (`'`-opener with no
closer). It was too clever: cases like `'a + b ; c + d` or
`'a = a + 1 ; a` collapsed into one cell because `;` was treated as
text. Users expect `;` to ALWAYS split at top level.

Reverted to "split-always-at-top-level" (predictable). To get a literal
`;` inside the text of a cell, close the text region with `'` first:

```cpd
'frase con ; punto y coma'                  ← one cell, ; is literal
'frase con ; punto y coma                    ← TWO cells now
'a + b ; c + d                               ← TWO cells (text | expr)
a + b ; c + d                                ← TWO cells (both expr)
```

The pure-text fast path `'<text>'` and the expr-first path for cells
without `'` opener are preserved from v1.8.14.

### v1.8.14 (May 2026) — Inversion only for DEFINED variables + expr-first cells

Two corrections to `#blk` / `#inl` cell rendering:

1. The "invert convention" heuristic (so `'a' kN/m` evaluates `a`) now
   requires the bare identifier to actually be DEFINED as a variable
   (`_parser.HasVariable(name)`). Otherwise standard text-first
   convention applies. Before this, `'texto'e = 4` mis-fired the
   heuristic — `texto` looked like an identifier, got marked as EXPR,
   and showed as a red "undeclared" error. Now `texto` stays as text
   and `e = 4` evaluates as expression (assigning `e`).

2. Cells that DON'T start with `'` but contain `'` internally are now
   processed with expression-first alternation (EXPR / TEXT / EXPR …).
   So `c = 3' texto2'` produces: `c = 3` evaluated + " texto2" as text.
   Previously this fell through to the regular expression parser which
   choked on the literal `'` and produced an error.

Combined with v1.8.13, the recommended canonical forms are now:

```cpd
#blk
'col1'; 'col2'; 'col3                ← three text cells
'text1'; 'a' kN/m                    ← text | expr (when a is defined)
'text 'a = 4; b = a + 2              ← text + expr + expr in two cells
c = 3' suffix text'                  ← expr + text (no leading quote)
#end blk
```

### v1.8.13 (May 2026) — `;` inside text region is literal + accent colour + `'cell'` is pure text

Three improvements to `#blk` / `#inl` column splitting and editor UX:

1. `;` inside an OPEN text region (between a `'` opener and the next `'`
   or end-of-line) is now treated as a LITERAL character — so
   `'una frase con ; punto y coma interno` renders as a single cell.
   Legacy `'cell1 ; 'cell2` syntax still works (a `'` after the `;` is
   recognised as the start of a new cell, so the `;` becomes a separator
   even when text is open).

2. New "pure text cell" rule: a cell matching exactly `'<content>'`
 (one opening quote, content, one closing quote, optional trailing
 whitespace) is rendered as plain text WITHOUT applying the
 alternation/identifier heuristic. So `'col1'; 'col2'; 'col3` produces
 three text cells, even when `col1` happens to look like an identifier
 (previously the heuristic tried to evaluate it and showed a red
 "undeclared variable" error).

3. Editor highlight: `;` that acts as a column separator in `#blk`,
   `#inl`, or `#cen` lines is now rendered in a strong DodgerBlue +
   bold so the visual layout of cells is unambiguous.

Combined effect: the recommended way to write a row is now
`'col1'; 'col2'; 'col3` (close every quote, semicolon between cells).
But the historic `'col1 ; 'col2` shorthand still produces two columns.

### v1.8.12 (May 2026) — Smarter alternation in `#blk` cells (`'a'` evaluates)

v1.8.10 used Calcpad's standard line convention for `#blk` cells:
fragments[1] = TEXT, fragments[2] = EXPR, etc. This worked for
`'a vale 'a' kN/m` (which has 3 `'`s and a TEXT prefix) but failed
when the user typed `'a' kN/m` expecting `a` to evaluate — the
standard convention puts `a` in TEXT mode.

Fix: detect the case where the cell looks like `'<bare-identifier>'…`
(fragments[1] trimmed is a single Latin/Greek/underscore identifier
with no operators or spaces) and INVERT the alternation phase. Now:

```
'Esto es una variable;'a' esto es #blk
   → "Esto es una variable" | (a=5) " esto es #blk"
'a vale 'a' kN/m
   → "a vale " (a=5) " kN/m"     ← standard, fragments[1]="a vale " is not a bare id
'b vale 'b' al final
   → "b vale " (b=10) " al final"
```

The override only kicks in when fragments[1] is unambiguous (matches
`\w+`), so phrasing like `'La fórmula es 'expr' útil` (with leading
prose) still uses the standard text/expr/text convention.

### v1.8.11 (May 2026) — Highlighter block-context detection on single-paragraph re-parse

Body lines of an open `#blk` (or `#cen`, `#margen`, `#noc`) block were
sometimes shown with stale red-error highlighting in the editor after
the user edited them. RichTextBox.TextChanged calls Parse with
`single=true` to re-tokenise only the changed paragraph, but that path
previously skipped both the flag-reset AND `DetectBlockContextFromPrevious`.
The `_isIn*Block` flags kept whatever value they had at the end of the
last full pass, so the Error→Comment demote in Append() didn't trigger.

Fix: always reset the block flags and re-walk backwards to detect the
surrounding open block on every Parse() entry — `single=true` included.
A single-line edit now sees the correct context.

### v1.8.10 (May 2026) — Inline alternation inside `#blk` cells

Previously a `#blk` cell starting with `'` was rendered as pure text
even when it contained internal `'` characters — the second apostrophe
would appear literally in the output. Now each cell that starts with
`'` and contains more `'`s applies the same alternation rule Calcpad
uses on regular lines:

- The first `'` opens TEXT mode
  - Each subsequent `'` toggles between EXPRESSION and TEXT

Concrete examples:

```cpd
a = 5
b = 10
#blk
'simple text                  ; 'just two text cells
'a vale 'a' kN/m              ; text + expr `a` (=5) + text
'b vale 'b' al final          ; text + expr `b` (=10) + text
'1 DOF (barra) ; '2 DOF (m)   ; pure-text cells (no internal `'`)
#end blk
```

To evaluate an expression with no leading text inside a cell, prefix
with empty quotes: `'  'a = 2 + 3' more text` → empty text + expr +
trailing text.

### v1.8.9 (May 2026) — Preserve spaces in editor (not just in HTML output)

v1.8.8 added the `p.line { white-space: pre-wrap }` CSS rule that kept
multiple/leading spaces alive in the HTML output. But the WPF editor
(RichTextBox over a FlowDocument) ALSO collapses consecutive spaces
when rendering Run text, so `'    pico    pato` looked like
`' pico pato` in the editor — even though the cached HTML had the
spaces.

Fix: when the highlighter emits a Comment run that contains two or
more consecutive spaces, replace every space-after-a-space with
U+00A0 NO-BREAK SPACE. WPF renders nbsp at the same width as a space
but does not collapse it. `GetInputText()` converts the nbsp back to
plain space before save/evaluation, so the on-disk `.cpd` stays
ASCII-clean and the parser still sees regular spaces.

### v1.8.8 (May 2026) — Preserve leading/multiple spaces in text comments

A `'   x` or `'                              x` text comment used to render
with collapsed whitespace ("x" or " x") because HTML collapses runs of
spaces in flow content by default. Two changes:

1. CSS rule `p.line { white-space: pre-wrap }` added to both the WPF and
   CLI `doc/template.html`. Now leading and consecutive internal spaces
   inside text paragraphs are preserved verbatim while still allowing
   wrapping at word boundaries.
2. `HtmlLineClass` / `HtmlLineMarker` now emit `class="line"` regardless
   of `Debug`, so the same CSS rule applies to BOTH the WPF (Debug=true)
   and the CLI (Debug=false). Previously only WPF tagged paragraphs with
   `class="line"`, so the CSS fix only worked there.

A `.col-cell, .col-cell span { white-space: normal }` override prevents
inheritance from messing up `#blk` flex cell layout.

### v1.8.7 (May 2026) — `#blk` columns render in WPF (duplicate class= attribute)

`#blk`/`#inl` flexbox columns rendered as stacked single-column rows in
the WPF WebView2 even though the CLI output produced correct multi-cell
HTML. Root cause: the parser's `HtmlId` property (active when `Debug=true`)
emitted ` id="line-N" class="line"` as a single token, and several callers
appended their OWN `class="…"` afterwards, producing malformed HTML with
TWO `class` attributes:

```html
<div id="line-203" class="line" class="col-blk"> ← second class silently dropped by browsers
```

`.col-blk { display: flex }` therefore never applied — every cell rendered
as a block on its own line. The CLI output had no duplicate because Debug
was off there, so the bug was invisible until WPF.

Fix: split `HtmlId` into three pieces so each emission site picks the right
combination:
- `HtmlId` → just ` id="line-N"`
- `HtmlLineClass` → just ` class="line"`
- `HtmlLineMarker` → `"line "` to inject inside an existing class= value

Updated all ~20 call sites in `ExpressionParser.cs` and
`ExpressionParser.Keywords.cs` (`<p{HtmlId}>` → `<p{HtmlId}{HtmlLineClass}>`,
and `<X{HtmlId} class="cond">` → `<X{HtmlId} class="{HtmlLineMarker}cond">`).
Output now has exactly ONE class attribute per element, both line-tracking
hooks and flex layout work simultaneously.

### v1.8.6 (May 2026) — Greek-letter panel fix (font typo)

The toolbar `GreekLettersWarpPanel` (α β γ δ ε ζ η θ ι κ λ μ ν ξ ο π ρ ς σ τ
υ φ χ ψ ω ϑ ø ° ′ ″ ‰ ∂) was showing as boxes / blank because the
TextBlock style hard-coded `FontFamily = "Times New Romans"` (extra `s`).
WPF couldn't resolve that face and fell back to a font without Unicode
Greek glyphs. Fixed to `"Times New Roman"`. The Ctrl+G transliteration
shortcut (e.g. `x` → `ξ`) was always working — this only affected the
clickable panel rendering.

### v1.8.5 (May 2026) — Highlighter respects multi-line display blocks

`#blk` body cells like `'2DOF(membrana)`, `'Ley: matriz D (3x3)` were
flagged in pink because the second `'`-prefixed cell after the `;`
separator triggered Variable→Error promotion (the parser tokenized
`2DOF` as `2*DOF`, `(membrana)` as undeclared variable, etc.).

The previous fix (v1.8.2) only escaped error promotion when the LINE
itself started with `#deq`/`#sym`/etc. Body lines of `#blk` / `#cen`
/ `#margen` / `#noc` blocks were not covered.

Fix: added `_isInBlkBlock` / `_isInCenBlock` / `_isInMargenBlock` /
`_isInNocBlock` flags mirroring `_isInSymBlock`. They flip on the
opening keyword, reset on `#end <kind>`. The flags are honoured by
`Append()` (Error → Comment demote), `CheckError()` (skip undeclared
checks), and `CheckHighlight()` (skip post-pass error re-promotion —
with its own per-paragraph local copy because it runs after Parse()
finished).

`DetectBlockContextFromPrevious` walks back to recover the active
block when re-highlighting starts mid-block.

### v1.8.4 (May 2026) — Save round-trip protection (no .cpd corruption on close)

The WPF editor used to silently corrupt `.cpd` files when the user opened
them and clicked Save / answered Yes to "Save changes?" on close — even
when no real edit had been made. The HighLighter's re-tokenization
sometimes lost whitespace around inline `'#deqξ'` directives or dropped
the leading apostrophe of a `#blk` cell, and `GetInputText()` re-emitted
the corrupted reconstruction.

Fix:
- Snapshot the exact disk bytes (`_loadedFileText`) on every `FileOpen`.
- Track whether the user actually typed something since load
  (`_userTypedSinceLoad`) via `RichTextBox_PreviewKeyDown`.
- On save: if `_userTypedSinceLoad == false`, write the original bytes
  verbatim. Only emit `GetInputText()` when the user really edited.

Net effect: opening + closing a file (without typing) is now a true
no-op — the file on disk is byte-identical to what it was.

### v1.8.3 (May 2026) — Repackage clean (no contaminated examples)

Same source as v1.8.2 but the v1.8.2 installer accidentally included a
`.cpd` file that was overwritten by the WPF auto-save on close (lost
inline `'#deqξ'` spaces and a `#blk` cell apostrophe). The repo `.cpd`
was reverted to its clean form and the installer was recompiled.

### v1.8.2 (May 2026) — WPF highlighter polish + CLI batch mode

**WPF highlighter:**
- `#sym ... #end sym` blocks now render as passthrough (dark blue). Symbol
  names like `xi`, `eta`, `theta`, `alpha` no longer flagged as undeclared
  variables / red error background.
- Greek letters (`ξ`, `η`, etc.) and `@@(label)` after display equations no
  longer marked as errors in `#deq`. Tokens that hit `Types.Error` from
  `InitType` get demoted to `Types.Comment` (green) when the line is a
  display directive (`#deq`, `#sym`, `#inl`, `#blk`, `#cen`, `#noc`).
- `DetectBlockContextFromPrevious` recognizes `#sym` alone as block opener
  for paragraph-by-paragraph re-highlighting.

**CLI batch mode:**
- No longer crashes with `InvalidOperationException` when stdin is
  redirected (was blocking `for f in *.cpd; do cli.exe "$f" "$out" -s; done`).
- Relative paths like `Examples/x.cpd` no longer get duplicated to
  `Examples/Examples/x.cpd` after `cwd` change. Now resolves to absolute
  paths *before* `Directory.SetCurrentDirectory`.

### v1.8.0 (May 2026) — Merge with main lineage

Brought 87 commits from `origin/main` into the parser-fixes branch:

- **Excel Viewer** (Univer-based) with `#blk` Calculate() integration
- **Sandbox + Maxima fallback** — `Symbolic.Sandbox` project, AngouriMath
  fallback to Maxima for unsupported operations
- **12 explicaciones FEM** in `explicaciones/` — curso paso a paso, B^T·B
  desde álgebra lineal, funciones de forma, energía cuadrática, B vs k,
  análisis dimensional, etc.
- **Solver SAPFIRE doc** — `Archivos_K_Solver_SAPFIRE.cpd` explica
  `.K_0/.K_I/.K_J/.K_M`, ensamblaje sparse, Cholesky, AMD reordering
- **6 ejemplos Placas** — Kirchhoff, Mindlin, Q4 membrana, DKT, MITC4,
  Layered Laminate
- **Tesis Cap 15 Paz** — derivación triangular plate plane stress + axial,
  corte, flexión, torsión

### v1.7.0–v1.7.4 (May 2026) — Unit propagation + `''` semantics

- **HpMatrix.CreateFromRows** unit propagation: when first row is unitless
  but later rows have units, propagate to all rows (was assigning row units
  in column-major confusion).
- **HpVector setter** inherits Units from first non-zero unit-bearing
  assignment when initially null. Lets users build matrices with
  `K.(j;j) = K.(j;j) + k_node` without pre-declaring Unit on the template.
- **MatrixCalculator.SetUnits**: literal `1` accepted as alias for
  `clrunits` (`setunits(M; 1)` ≡ `setunits(M; clrunits(M))`).
- **`''` (double single quote)** outside a text region = "close
  expression and re-enter text mode" (`'expr''text'` ≡ `'expr' 'text'`).
  Inside a text region of same quote type = literal escaped quote.
- **WPF editor**: `''` is rendered as visible chars in the editor (the
  delimiter the user typed) instead of being silently consumed.

### v1.6.0 (May 2026) — Complete 22 web visualization directives

Phase 1 (10): `#svg`, `#plotly`, `#three`, `#mermaid`, `#canvas`, `#cyto`,
`#dot`, `#jsx`, `#map`, `#math`.
Phase 3 (10): `#mathbox`, `#d3`, `#echarts`, `#vega`, `#visnet`, `#p5`,
`#matter`, `#cannon`, `#geogebra`, `#chart`.
Phase 4 (2): `#anime`, `#manim`.

`Mathbox` enum reordered before `Math` to avoid prefix collision (`#mathbox`
matched `#math` first because `GetKeyword` iterated bucket in declaration
order).

### v1.5.0 (May 2026) — Parser/units/web-graphics groundwork

- **Unicode multiplication operator aliases** `·` (U+00B7), `×` (U+00D7)
  added to `MathParser.Input.GetCharType` and `Calculator.OperatorIndex`
  (slot 4, same as `*`).
- **Prose-text fallback** in `ExpressionParser`: lines that look like prose
  (no operators, no assignments, several spaces) are routed to text rendering
  instead of being parsed and erroring out as undeclared identifiers.
- **Inline directives** (`#deqξ`, `#sym expr`) compact form supported via
  `TryStripInlineDirective`.
- **Line-extension splice** (`_` continuation) skipped inside `#plotly`,
  web-graphics, and `#svg` blocks so JavaScript `;` doesn't trigger
  unintended line concatenation.
