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).
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:
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?
@spirobel Ho appena installato il tuo plugin e ora ricevo questo errore. C’è la possibilità che aggiornerai il tuo fantastico plugin?
Errore: la modale 'matheditor-modal' necessita di un aggiornamento per funzionare con l'ultima versione di Discourse. Vedi https://meta.discourse.org/t/268057.
il tuo plugin è molto utile, in particolare per i dispositivi mobili.
Ci sono stati molti aggiornamenti di Discourse da aprile 2024 e non ho visto questo argomento del plugin contrassegnato come “rotto”, quindi presumo che i guasti di cui sopra non siano stati riproducibili nelle versioni successive di Discourse?
