# Equals (#=)


animated

Equals is a result of a search for a simple text editor based calculator, the idea came from [Calca](http://calca.io/) which is great but lacking linux support and is not maintained very much. Equals takes python code or markdown with python code blocks and append intermediate results to expressions followed by `#=`.

## Installation

As neovim plugin using [vim-plug](https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug):

```vim
Plug 'liborw/equals', { 'do': 'pip install --user .'}
```

As neovim plugin using [vim-jetpack](https://github.com/tani/vim-jetpack):

```lua
use {'liborw/equals', run = 'pip install --user .'}
```

As standalone tool using pip:

```shell
pip install git+https://github.com/liborw/equals.git
```

## Usage

Command line:

```sh
# equals --help
usage: equals [-h] [-i | -o OUTPUT | -u] [-d] [-l LANG] input

positional arguments:
input Input file, for input from stdin use '-' as in input.

options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-i, --in-place Update the input file in place.
-o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT

- [codi.vim](https://github.com/metakirby5/codi.vim) was close but the results are not persistent, does not support `a = 1 + b #=`, and used has no control what result are included.
