Mathematical Formulas: suggestions sought....

[xylstra]

Can anyone recommend a free online user-friendly utility to enable one to type mathematical/scientific formulas in HTML script? You know what I mean; multi-line stacked formulas, superscripts/subscripts, symbols, etc. Thanks.

Can you explain further?

Hi Zipper. Just flip open any mathematical text and try duplicating a complicated formula in an e-mail. See how far you get.

HTML is plain ascii text. So it's rather difficult to do so. You'll have to do something with these codes [URL="https://www.toptal.com/designers/htmlarrows/math/"]HTML Math Symbols, Entities and Codes — Toptal Designers[/url]

As in the character code for the symbols?

If so, then visit here:
HTML Unicode UTF-8

So, you want the ability to type in the formulas into some kind of window, and it renders the answer?

Hi Zipper, no, no not a calculator just purely the formula with all the complicated symbology. It doesn't have to be a pop-up window, it could just be a stand-alone utility loaded up in another tab and merely copy and pasted into the main text back in the other tab. Any thoughts?

You could try this and copy-paste. Never used it myself though. I'm not sure it'll work as it seems to use LaTeX

another ide might be to create in MSWord and save to html.

Wow, thanks Marcel, looks promising. I'm near a desktop PC today so I'll give it a test drive in a little while and see how it performs.

So far, this has proved to be excellent: MathType demo - Equations editor Stiil early days though.
