Install instructions

1. Install the npm module:

   npm install @wiris/mathtype-ckeditor5

2. Update the CKEditor configuration by adding the new plugin and including the MathType and ChemType buttons:

   Using the legacy methods of installation:

   import MathType from '@wiris/mathtype-ckeditor5';
   
   ...
   
   ClassicEditor
        .create( editorElement, {
            plugins: [ ..., MathType, ... ],
            toolbar: {
                items: [
                    ...
                    'MathType',
                    'ChemType',
                    ...
                ]
            },

   And when uses CKEditor5 without legacy methods of installation:

   import { ClassicEditor } from 'ckeditor5';
   import MathType from '@wiris/mathtype-ckeditor5/dist/index.js';
   
   ...
   
   ClassicEditor
        .create( editorElement, {
            plugins: [ ..., MathType, ... ],
            toolbar: {
                items: [
                    ...
                    'MathType',
                    'ChemType',
                    ...
                ]
            },

Services

This npm module uses remotely hosted services to render MathML data. In case of wanting to install these services on your own backend, please contact [email protected].

Displaying on Target Page

In order to display mathematical formulas on the target page, i.e. the page where content produced by the HTML editor will be visible, the target page needs to include the MathType script. For example for the default setting this would be:

<script src="https://www.wiris.net/demo/plugins/app/WIRISplugins.js?viewer=image"></script>
