Looks great; let's get to work!

  • How do I get started?

    Pop over to the quick start guide for instructions on setting up.

    Check the examples page for many more things you can do.

  • Can I evaluate expressions numerically?

    Yes! See the calculator and graphing examples.

  • Can I compare an input to a given expression?

    Yes, using the math-expressions library. Check out the quiz example.

  • Can I use it to just render mathematics on a page without an editor?

    Yes! Check out the article example.

  • What formats does it support?

    Export formats: LaTeX, ASCIIMath, plain text, JSON syntax tree, JSON equation list, Javascript function, and XML.
    Import formats: XML, JSON syntax tree, plain text, a semantic LaTeX, and also a subset of standard LaTeX through a third party library.
    See the Import/Export example for all natively supported formats, and see the LaTeX import example for limited import from standard LaTeX.

  • Who is using it?

  • How does it work?

    Data is stored internally in a custom XML format. Editing operations correspond loosely to XPath queries, and rendering to various output formats is a simple recursive transform (formerly XSLT). Display is done with KaTeX (with some modification).
