Math Formula Editor

[stefnotch]

EngineeringPaper currently uses the lovely MathQuill editor. I'm guessing MathQuill was chosen, since it's the most reliable open-source WYSIWYG math editor. The main downside of using MathQuill is the fact that matrices aren't supported, unless one uses a fork.

As the author of QuantumSheet, I'm currently writing my own math formula editor. The goal is to take everything that makes IDEs nice and put those features into a modern math formula editor. That means autocompletion, documentation popups, unambiguous input with the editor asking the user when something is underspecified, ....

(Demo is woefully incomplete, the editor is a work in progress)

I figured it'd be worthwhile to reach out, and ask if you have any thoughts regarding what a truly good math formula editor should be like.

@stefnotch, interesting project, thanks for sharing. Yes, the lack of matrix support is one of the limitations of MathQuill. Matrix support is probably a ways off for EngineeringPaper.xyz, but it will likely require a different math editor to support it. I'm going to move this over to a discussion item since it probably fits better over there.
