CodeCogs fxEditor

A MathML equation editor

Nobody should have to write MathML by hand. Build the equation visually or in LaTeX, and copy out clean MathML — with the spoken text a screen reader needs already attached.

MathML out, MathML in

Copy MathML

One click puts the equation's MathML on the clipboard — with its spoken text, or as the bare <math> element if you will add your own.

<math>…</math>

Paste MathML to edit it

Paste MathML from another tool or an old page and it arrives as an equation you can edit, with its LaTeX written alongside.

<mfrac>
  <mi>a</mi>
  <mi>b</mi>
</mfrac>
\frac{a}{b}

Native in Word

Paste the MathML into Microsoft Word and Word turns it into one of its own equations, still editable. How →

By Pythagoras, the hypotenuse is

In Word: one of its own equations, editable there like any other.

Speech that travels with the markup

MathML is what a browser draws and what a screen reader with maths support reads. Not every screen reader has that support — VoiceOver on macOS is the obvious gap — so the spoken text goes with the equation, generated from its structure: a fraction gets an end cue, a power is "squared", a matrix is read by its shape. There are four ways to attach it, and the accessibility test bench compares them in JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver. More on accessibility →

MathML in your own application

The same editor, in your page. Three ways in, depending on how much code you want to write.

In your rich-text editor

Plugins for CKEditor, TinyMCE, Froala, Tiptap, WordPress and TiddlyWiki add an fx button and insert MathML by default, with the LaTeX kept so it can be edited again.

From the API

Build an editor from its parts and ask for the equation in any format.

output.setFormat('mathml', true)
      .setWrapper('html')
      .getCode();

API reference →

From a URL

No editor at all: ask fxTeX Server for the MathML of any LaTeX.

Store the LaTeX, deliver the MathML

The MathML for the quadratic formula runs to many times the length of its LaTeX — both are below. If MathML is what your readers should get, it need not be what you store: keep the LaTeX and let fxTeX produce the MathML in the reader's browser.

Published MathML needs one stylesheet line to look right on any page — or add fxTeX, which carries it.

Style published MathML:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://fxtex.codecogs.com/fxtex.css">

Or render LaTeX to MathML in the page:

<script src="https://fxtex.codecogs.com/fxtex.min.js"></script>
<script>fxTeX.autoRender();</script>
Stored: LaTeX 30 characters
\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}
Delivered: MathML 
<math>…</math>

Try it on the real thing

The full editor is on the home page, with suggestions as you type, history and every export format. It is free for non-commercial use — study, teaching, research or a personal site. Building it into something you sell needs a commercial licence.
