EW and Mathtype

Hi guys! It's been a year since I started using Everweb (EW) and it's been quite a great journey so far, your app has given me the ability to do things for my website, I couldn't imagine! You did -and still do- a great gob and I'm very happy to use EW. I'm coming here to make a suggestion, if it is possible. I'm a teacher of Mathematics, so my website is about... yep, you got it right (that was too easy, now I have something more intriguing for you coming). I use Mathtype (MT) with Pages and insert any mathematical symbol I need to make my documents, which I export as pdf, upload on Google Drive and link them for my visitors. So, is it possible to make MT work somehow with EW? Maybe like with Pages, where I have created a keyboard shortcut and enter my math symbols in Pages through MT? If such a collaboration is possible, it would be very helpful. This way, anyone using mathematical types (physicists, mathematicians and others) can write and post right away in his/hers website. Thanks for taking my proposal under consideration. |

Hi Dimitris, I will have to look more into MathType to see how it works and to see if we can integrate it into EverWeb. ------------------------------- Paul EverWeb Developer |

You do that, Paul ! I'm sure many teachers worldwide use EW to build their websites (if they don't, they lose big!) and this important feature would be very helpful. Right now I'm making a new version of my math website and I have to take screenshots of my texts (way too many of them) to do what I want. This way, my site will be almost all pics and very few text (I guess this is not very good, is it?). I know it's probably too early and maybe too much to ask (please forgive me for the latter), but do you think this integration would be possible to do within the next 2-3 months? I'll be working overtime during summer to get my new version of my website up and running (I already started working on some ideas of how to do renew things), so maybe some estimation will help with what I must and must not do. If there's anything I can do to help this research, I'd be more than happy to! For starters, I want to say that "copy-paste" doesn't work (copy from my Pages text and paste into a text box in EW), because all math symbols are inserted into Pages as, aligned with the text, pics and EW gets only the text, but no math symbol-pic. If at least this "copy-paste" ability could work, it would be a true life saver!!! Last edit 10 years ago |

Instead of waiting for a solution, why not search for one. See if this works : https://www.dessci.com/en/support/mathtype/works_with.asp#!target=mathjax |

There is a stylesheet available HERE if you want to create "math stuff" with HTML and CSS. Note the use of the technical jargon "math stuff" which you may not be familiar with. The simplest way would be to create your math stuff in MathML or whatever, enclose it in <math> tags and paste it into an HTML Snippet. Include the link to MathJax in the Head Code box. <script type="text/javascript" async src="https://cdn.mathjax.org/mathjax/latest/MathJax.js?config=TeX-MML-AM_CHTML"></script> To go one step further you would insert the "normal" text as well in a <p> element and write the styles for it in the Head Code box. Single lines can be enclosed in <math></math> and blocks using <math display="block"></math> ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

Here's an example created in EverWeb.

Here's an EW page with a link to the tutorial : http://trotter.hol.es/mathML/ |

| Thank you all for your replies, but none of them is easy to use (it's quite the opposite in fact). It is impossible to write thousands of pages and millions of "alien" texts and codes like that! What I proposed (again, if it is possible to do) is for EW to work with MathType like Pages works with MathType, i.e. by inserting any mathematical symbol into a Pages document. The only solution I see, is to take a snapshot of my Pages document and insert it in my website as an image. Maybe not the best solution, but it is one. | |
