Documentation

Please refer to the Users Guide for the MathML Equation Editor for information about the basic use of the editor, more advanced examples on the configuration customization framework, scripting examples demonstrating the use of the component edition of the editor, and detailed reference information on the operation of the editor. Virtually all of the information contained in the Users Guide as describing the MathML Equation Editor applies also to MathEX, which provides equation editing functionality as a Java application and a Java applet.

Customization

The configuration customization framework of the MathML Equation Editor described in the Users Guide is identical to the configuration customization framework for MathEX. Binary configuration files (.zc) created for one product are byte-for-byte compatible with files created for the other, and may be used interchangably.

Scripting

The component edition of the MathML Equation Editor provides an extensive API for invoking the configuration customization capabilities described in the Users Guide . Please refer to the Users Guide for the exact method names and parameter lists that are exported through the custom COM interface. Each of the scripting examples described in the Users Guide as using the ActiveX component edition should have an analogous implementation using the MathEX Java applet.

Editing

The MathML Equation Editor supports all of the content elements from the MathML 2.0 Recommendation, Second Edition, and all of the MathML presentation elements needed to display them, subject to the capabilities of the underlying rendering support provided by techexplorer. The MathML Reference section of the Users Guide provides detailed instructions that may be used to create any of the standard MathML content elements described in the MathML Recommendation.
