Does the Rich Text Editor (with Markdown) support math equations?

[erikm3103]

Hi everyone,

I’m using the Rich Text Editor (with Markdown) in WeWeb and I’m wondering if it currently supports rendering math equations using LaTeX or MathJax/Katex syntax or any other syntax?

I’ve tried a few standard formats, including:

• Inline math: $a^2 + b^2 = c^2$
• Block math:

$
E = mc^2
$

• Bracketed blocks:

\[
\frac{1}{2}mv^2
\]

• Markdown code blocks with math:

```math
\frac{1}{2}mv^2

But none of them seem to render as equations, just plain text. Does the WeWeb Rich Text Editor currently support math rendering?

Hi Erik ,

I don’t think our rich text editor has this functionality (at least without forking it and modifying it extensively)

Here’s how some other members have tried solving this:
(they embed Latex directly)

Math equations rendering through Latex

Hello, I want to showcase math equations on the website. I want it to be written in Latex. How can I render latex as maths? Do I store the latex code as it is in my Xano database, and when that is pulled, have some WeWeb functionality render the code as maths?

Latex embed not working

Hello, I put javascript in the header to allow for MathJax formulas. However, the formulas are not rendering. Anyone know why? Script: [Screen Shot 2023-07-28 at 5.05.59 pm]

Latex Not Updating with Dynamic Data

I am currently trying to load latex from a database to an element. I am able to render the latex using mathjax however once a question is loaded, it doen’t change even when new data is loaded. i tried updating the DOM using " wwLib.getFrontWindow().MathJax.typeset() " in a custom javascrip function but this only works the first time and doesn’t updated when other data is loaded. I have to constantly restart the page to view new rendered information. [image]

Let me know if these help.

Hi, you could use the Mathematics extension | Tiptap Editor Docs but as Augustin mentioned, it would require the fork of the current editor.

@Broberto @Agustin_Carozo Thanks to both Would be great to get this on the roadmap, so it can be suppoorted in the rich text field in the future.

Where can I submit feature requests again?

feedback.weweb.io - but there is very low chance that it’ll get implemented within a reasonable time.
