Latex / MathML support?

Hi,

When do you plan to add MathML / Latex support? I'd like to add some equations to a Word document by specifying their MathML or Latex code? 

Something like .AddEquationFromMathML( 'code​' ) and .AddEquationFromLatex( 'code​' )​

Thanks!

Hi Paolo,

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support.

Regarding MathML
We have provided support for MathML equation in Word document using DocIO. Please refer the below documentation link to know about working with Mathematical Equation.
UG Link: https://help.syncfusion.com/file-formats/docio/working-with-mathematical-equation
Demo Link: https://ej2.syncfusion.com/aspnetcore/DocIO/CreateEquation#/material  
Regarding Latex
Currently DocIO don’t have a latex support in Word document. We have already logged this requirement as feature request in our database. We don’t have any immediate plans to implement this feature. At the planning stage for every release cycle, we review all open features. We will let you know when this feature is implemented.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Thanks for the reply, I looked at the sample for MathML but it seems not to be what I'm looking for: I have a string containing some MathML code, for example:

<math>
 <mrow>
  <mi>x</mi>
  <mo>=</mo>
  <mfrac>
    <mrow>
      <mrow>
        <mo>-</mo>
        <mi>b</mi>
      </mrow>
      <mo>&PlusMinus;</mo>
      <msqrt>
        <mrow>
          <msup>
            <mi>b</mi>
            <mn>2</mn>
          </msup>
          <mo>-</mo>
          <mrow>
            <mn>4</mn>
            <mo>&InvisibleTimes;</mo>
            <mi>a</mi>
            <mo>&InvisibleTimes;</mo>
            <mi>c</mi>
          </mrow>
        </mrow>
      </msqrt>
    </mrow>
    <mrow>
      <mn>2</mn>
      <mo>&InvisibleTimes;</mo>
      <mi>a</mi>
    </mrow>
  </mfrac>
 </mrow>
</math>


The resulting equation is  x={\frac {-b\pm {\sqrt {b^{2}-4ac}}}{2a}}

I simply need a way to pass this MathML code to DocIO so that the equation is rendered. Of course I cannot manually parse the MathML code (unless you already have a class that does this).

Thanks!

Hi Paolo,

Thank you for your update.

As mentioned earlier, we don’t have a support to build equation from the Latex string(code)/MathML string using DocIO. We have already logged this requirement as feature request in our database. We don’t have any immediate plans to implement this feature. At the planning stage for every release cycle, we review all open features. We will let you know when this feature is implemented.

I tried, but I still get the error. I also tried to use Chrome Incognito mode.

Thanks.

Hi Paolo,

Thank you for your update.

Now we have changed the feedback status. Could you please check and confirm us whether it is able to access at your end? 

Please let us know if you have any other queries.

Yes, now it works! But please edit it by also adding MathML, not only LaTeX.

Hi Paolo,

Thank you for your update.

DocIO does not support building mathematical equations from external MathML code (<math>…..</math>). But we can be able to create the MathML Equation at a scratch level using DocIO. Please refer to the below UG. And also, when MathML is present in the existing Word document means then it will be present in converted DOCIO DOM, and also it will preserve in the converted PDF document.

Regarding building mathematical equations from Latex string or code.
