Revision as of 10:42, 22 December 2009

One requested feature is that FreeMind supports typesetting of mathematical formulas, perhaps in LaTeX.

FreeMind 0.9.0 beta14 is delivered with a plugin of mathematical formulas, based on HotEqn component.

Some users use their private extension that renders a tag < latex > when inside a node, using dvipng tool.[1]

License

All the considered components for rendering math should have GNU GPL license, or at least a compatible open-source license.

Formats

Formats:

Format Verbosity Note
LaTeX Low Only a subset can be realistically supported.
Used by Wikipedia encyclopedia, and Mediawiki wiki engine.
Scientists around the world already know parts of it by heart.
MathML High Is an XML vocabulary.
Is tedious to edit in the plain text form.

Engines

The following components are capable of rendering mathematical formulas.

Name Lang. License Format Viewing WYSIWYG Editing Smooth Fonts Inline Math URL Note
