A little lovin' for Equations in Google Docs

I've been toying with equation editing in MS Word (it's been an uneventful but productive term break) and noticed a nice little nugget tucked away within Google Docs.

Not that this is anything new, but if you're like me, you're not having a fun time playing the mathematical equation version of Where's Wally.

Automatic Equation Shortcuts in Google Docs

Sample:

	\times
	\div
	\pm
	\mp
	\dagger
	\ddagger

On a personal note, if someone explained where daggers come in to equations outside of medieval politics I would be deeply appreciative.
