[Feature request] MathLive for a WYSIWYG math editing experience #34

Open fbob opened 2 years ago

fbob commented 2 years ago

I'm wondering if Mathlive could be used to offer a WYSIWYG math editing experience for quarto documents. quarto-vscode already offers the live preview panel which is great.

A WYSIWYG math editor like the excellent mathlive web component for math input could greatly increase the editing experience for quarto.

Alternatives like this one below exist for other apps (Emacs, Logseq) https://github.com/casouri/quick-mathlive https://github.com/hkgnp/darwis-mathlive-plugin

Don't know if the concept is easily transferable to quarto-vscode.

Thanks for considering this feature request :)

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, we'd eventually like to do something like what you outline here.

Thanks @jjallaire for your kind feedback. I really like the direction taken in the dev of Quarto. "A Quarto tip a day" is also a wonderful idea to discover this wonderful tool. Thanks for all :+1:

I just found a good example of the use of mathlive in "Math Editor" which is a "rich text editor for scientific content" : https://matheditor.ml and https://github.com/IBastawisi/math-editor image

It may inspire some dev in this direction for "Posit Workbench" also.

Thank you! Yes, I've seen the MathLive stuff and it is very impressive. Will definitely be integrating this at some point!

The new Visual Mode in Vscode is just stunning. Thank you very much, it's an amazing work, congratulations to all the dev !

I just saw that you put the "future" label to this feature request and I eagerly await to see what it would be possible to have with Mathlive+Visual mode.

Quite honestly I think it would be the most complete and enjoyable scientific content editing system.

Keep up the great work, it's awesome quality, well done !

Thanks! Yes, this is definitely something we will add as part of visual mode. Lots of other things to do on that front but we will most certainly not neglect this.
