Installation
External requirements: This plugin requires the following additional components that must be installed separately:
Install the plugin using the Plugin Manager and the download URL above, which points to the latest version of the plugin. Refer to Plugins on how to install plugins manually.
Examples/Usage
In a simple example, you could add an inline maths expression as follows:
<math [style=inline]><msup><mi>x</mi><mn>2</mn></msup></math>
Of course, you could achieve the same result using some smart Unicode characters, like 𝑥². It becomes more interesting once you want to lay out more complex formulae. For more complex examples, please see the Ad-Hoc Plugins Tests page on my server.
Note: Browser-support for MathML has significantly improved in recent years, but is still not perfect. Please test your pages thoroughly before publishing complex formulae.
Syntax
Please see the Ad-Hoc HTML plugin page for syntax information. In brief, all official MathML tags are supported and can be inserted as expected. However, there are special syntax rules for attributes:
- IDs are inserted with a
#prefix (e.g.#myformula) - Classes are just inserted without any prefixes or attribute names (e.g.
no-print, etc.) - Languages are prefixed with a
:(e.g.:fr) - All other attributes are enclosed in square brackets, without quotation marks (e.g.
[display=inline])
This plugin follows a “strict” rule for attributes, as it only allows official and widely supported ones and checks for valid values and characters. All attributes that don’t match these rules are discarded.
Configuration and Settings
There are currently no configuration settings for this plugin.
Note: This plugin is still under development and should be considered experimental and unfinished.
