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 options for rendering math should have GNU GPL license, or at least a compatible open-source license.

Java Engines

The following Java components are capable of rendering mathematical formulas.
