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 | URL | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| HotEqn | Java | GPL | Subset of LaTeX | Yes | No | No | [2] | Has been chosen by Dimitry in the plugin of FreeMind 0.9.0 beta 15. Source code for download: [3] |
