Using Mathlive as a latex equation editor #23

Open fbob opened 2 years ago

fbob commented 2 years ago

Very exciting project ! I'm wondering if popweb features could be used in conjunction with Mathlive to build the best latex equation editor inside Emacs. Matlive is an excellent web component for math input: https://github.com/arnog/mathlive)

Anyway popweb is an excellent project, congrats !

An equation editor? Maybe that's more suited for EAF.

@fbob Hi, thanks for this suggestion, I believe https://github.com/emacs-eaf/emacs-application-framework is better way to implement LaTeX equation editor. ;)

Thanks to both of you. I didn't necessarily realize what was indeed the most appropriate.

Anyway, thank you for the great development you are doing with eaf and popweb. This is what emacs lacked to make it more modern

Awesome work, thanks !

I think that a GUI for equation edition could be a great addition to popweb-latex-mode

As mentioned here a similar tool as been made by @casouri https://github.com/casouri/quick-mathlive

What could be a good starting point to develop such a tool for popweb as an add-on feature of popweb-latex-mode ?

See for example this gif from https://github.com/casouri/quick-mathlive as an example of what can be done: quick-mathlive

Any PR are welcome

That was indeed the meaning of my comment, any toy plugin template somewhere or may popweb-latex-mode be a good starting point ? Thanks.

I think you should use it as a starting point :-)
