Type complex math expressions easily into your wordpress page using MathQuill (http://mathquill.com/). This plugin adds a new block editor called ‘Direct math input’ in the ‘widgets’ category.

Math expressions are saved in LaTeX format and rendered by MathQuill during pageview.

Usage

After installing, a new block editor called ‘Direct math input’ will be available. Each block contains a MathQuill instance
where you can edit math right on your page.

When the math editor is focused, you can enter math symbols using your keyboard or via copy/paste.
See the http://mathquill.com/ homepage for a visual demonstration of how to input math.

Some common keyboard shortcuts are as follows:

  • / (forward slash) Enter a new fraction, with focusable input areas for numerator and denominator
  • ^ (caret) Enter a new superscript, e.g. to add an exponent
  • _ (underscore) Enter a new subscript
  • ( (open parentheses) Open parentheses (which will scale based on the height of the content inside) Other parenthesis types behave similarly, e.g. [ and {
  • \ (backslash) Start typing one of the control sequences below. When finished, press enter or space to see the resulting symbol

Control sequences – to create each symbol, type the full sequence (including the backslash) into the math editor, followed by
space or enter. (not an exhaustive list)
