How To Use MathLive

To display math

You can use MathLive to simply render math equations by adding a few lines to your web page.

<!doctype html><html lang="en-US">
<head>
    ...
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="mathlive.core.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="mathlive.css">
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Euler's Identity</h1>
    <p>$$e^{i\pi} + 1 = 0$$</p>
    ...
    <script src="mathlive.js"></script>
    <script>
        MathLive.renderMathInDocument();
    </script>
</body>
</html>

To edit math

You can also incorporate a “math field” to edit math just like you would edit text. The MathLive APIs alllow you to interact with the math field, including extracting its content, inserting placeholders and more.

<!DOCTYPE html><html lang="en-US">
<head>

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="mathlive/mathlive.core.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="mathlive/mathlive.css">
</head>
<body>
    <div id='mathfield'>
        f(x)=
    </div>
<script src="mathlive/mathlive.js"></script>
<script>
    const mathfield = MathLive.makeMathField(document.getElementById('mathfield'));
</script>
</body>
</html>
