Short description
I would like to easily type in math expressions, perhaps using a syntax like the one used in LaTeX.
See the latex parser on ParserMarket or MathMlSupport
Has anybody looked at JsMath? Seems like a nice (non MathML) alternative to ASCIImath suggested on MathMlSupport.
From the Homepage: "JsMath does not use MathML, but this is not intended to indicate that MathML is not a good or useful thing, because it is, and I know that. But MathML is not designed to be written directly by human beings, and I wanted a format that I could easily write by hand and include in quick, non-archival web pages like homework assignments, while not having to require students to use a particular browser or download extra software to be able to view it."
I wrote a very simple jsMath parser, it works nice enough for me.
For a better visibility, this thing should live on ParserMarket page (and/or a subpage of it) and if it fulfills this feature request, the feature request should be deleted. -- ThomasWaldmann 2007-11-17 16:38:09
- I use the desktop version of moinmoin. For some reason after a second edit the original formula is corrupted by the interpreter (and also doesn't appear correctly on the screen): so "$$\Gamma^{\mu\nu}_{\alpha} = \partial g$$"
becomes: "<p align="center">$\displaystyle{\Gamma^{\mu\nu}_{\alpha} = \partial g}$</p>". Any idea how to correct this? --Zelhar2007-12-03 23:11:44
I have successfully used mimetex. Compile and copy into a cgi-bin (for this example on 'anyhost') and then any TeX equation can be inserted anywhere by using
{{http://anyhost/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?x^2 + y^2 = 0}}
Using the public mimetex service gives the following:
The public mimetex is not supposed to be for production servers - but this page is averaging about 1 or 2 views a day which I think fits the definition. No Parsers, No Macros, No configuration, ...etc. Though you do have to use TeX. -- TimCera 2008-08-01 17:36:59
Hi, ReimarBauer/text_x_mathtran.py describes a way how it can be easy added to 1.7.1/1.8. There is still some work to do. It shows currently the concept idea from the EuroPython2008 sprint. -- ReimarBauer 2008-08-02 00:08:55
