This plugin adds a new block editor called ‘Direct math input’ in the ‘widgets’ category. Math expressions are saved in LaTeX format and rendered by MathQuill during pageview. #### Usage After installing, a new block editor called ‘Direct math input’ will be available. Each block contains a MathQuill instance where you can edit math right on your page. When the math editor is focused, you can enter math symbols using your keyboard or via copy/paste. See the http://mathquill.com/ homepage for a visual demonstration of how to input math. Some common keyboard shortcuts are as follows: * / (forward slash) Enter a new fraction, with focusable input areas for numerator and denominator * ^ (caret) Enter a new superscript, e.g. to add an exponent * _ (underscore) Enter a new subscript * ( (open parentheses) Open parentheses (which will scale based on the height of the content inside) Other parenthesis types behave similarly, e.g. [ and { * \ (backslash) Start typing one of the control sequences below. When finished, press enter or space to see the resulting symbol Control sequences – to create each symbol, type the full sequence (including the backslash) into the math editor, followed by space or enter. (not an exhaustive list) * \plusminus * \times * \alpha * \beta * \gamma * \delta * \Alpha * \Beta * \Gamma * \Delta * \summation * \prod * \int * \sqrt * \nthroot * \lt * \gt * \le * \ge * \approx * \doteq * \neq * \nless * \ngtr * \intersection * \union * \subset * \superset * \notsubset * \nosuperset * \subseteq * \isin * \contains * \notcontains * \Complex * \Hamiltonian * \Imaginary * \Naturals * \Primes * \Rationals * \Reals ## Screenshots * [[ * Using the “Direct math input” block to insert some equations. ## Blocks This plugin provides 1 block. * Direct math input Type math expressions directly into your page with MathQuill/ LaTeX. ## Installation This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working. e.g. 1.
