Instructions:

Type 1+1=? and Typinator will instantly convert it to the result '2'.

Having made a basic calculation, we can now modify this to retain the calculation and append the result.

Further Instructional Details:

1. Duplicate the existing abbreviation, remove the question mark from it, and then press the 'Cmd' key."
