Discourse Math Editor

Discourse Math Editor is a plugin to enter math equations into Discourse in a more user friendly way. This editor helps you to create LaTeX. Please read on wikipedia about it if you dont know what it is: wikipedia
For more documentation on all the LateX commands that you can use please have a look here: mathlive docs
And please watch the video:

Installation

Follow Install a Plugin
how-to from the official Discourse Meta, using git clone https://github.com/spirobel/discourse-matheditor.git
as the plugin command.
You also need to use the official math plugin together with this:
offical math plugin
I recommend using KateX instead of MathJax, its way faster (at least for me).

Thaaaats it

We can add output to plugin or not.

thanks for the suggestion, it makes sense. I will have a look at it!

do you mean the graph below the box like in the mathlive docs? I think its a good idea, but probably better handled in a different plugin. What do you think about this plugin:

Does it fit your use case?

Yes i mean. Graphviz plugin I’m not sure whether it can display mathematical images or not.

I think from using inspect element on mathlive.io that he is using Plotly JavaScript Graphing Library | JavaScript | Plotly if there is a need for other plotting libraries maybe we can use the graphiz plugin as a starting point and integrate them in a similar way.

I’m not a math person and working with languages, I’m interested, is it possible to create a plugin with google virtual keyboard?

by the way, I found some posts here that people living in other countries can’t type in their native language, because they don’t have a local keyboard with PC or laptop. Of course they can use online keyboards, but it’s smth like a ‘wooden wheel’ in a new auto .

This is actually something I am interested in as well. I am learning how to create discourse plugins because I want to create a collaborative mandarin dictionary. Its quite a big project, so I am creating these smaller plugins first that have similar features so I can experiment on how to implement the whole thing. We can not use the google virtual keyboard, because it seems like its not an open source library. But a quick google search shows that there are open source virtual keyboard solutions: for example I just came across this one: Virtual Keyboard
I think the big downside of these keyboards is that the typing is very slow. So usually if I want to type in a different language I install something like unikey for vietnamese for example or sunpinyin for mandarin. I expect that most of my users will be able to type in their language so I am not planning to add a virtual keyboard. But I also want to have a way to input pinyin and zhuyin with tones. I still havent figured what to do about this. Which languages are you working with?

هذا جميل جداً!
هل يمكن القيام بذلك؟ هل سيكلف الكثير من موارد الأجهزة؟

@spirobel لقد قمت للتو بتثبيت المكون الإضافي الخاص بك والآن أحصل على هذا الخطأ. هل هناك فرصة لتحديث المكون الإضافي الرائع الخاص بك؟

خطأ: تحتاج النافذة المنبثقة 'matheditor-modal' إلى تحديث للعمل مع أحدث إصدار من Discourse. انظر https://meta.discourse.org/t/268057.

تحتاج هذه الإضافة إلى تحديث. إنها تسبب أخطاء في منطقة المحرر.

مرحباً سبيروبال،

المكون الإضافي الخاص بك مفيد للغاية، خاصة للأجهزة المحمولة.

كانت هناك العديد من تحديثات “ديسكورس” منذ أبريل 2024، ولم أرَ موضوع المكون الإضافي هذا مُصنفًا على أنه “معطل”، لذا أفترض أن الأخطاء المذكورة أعلاه لم تكن قابلة للتكرار في إصدارات “ديسكورس” اللاحقة؟

هل حقق أي شخص أي نجاح مع هذا على الهاتف الذكي مؤخرًا؟
