Design And Implementation Of Web-Based Formula Editor For Mathematics

A large amount of Mathematical knowledge are described with formulas. Formulas in Web pages were saved and displayed with images, which were edited in the client software and then published on the Internet by users.W3C defines a standard Mathematical Markup Language Math ML, which is used to complete the description of mathematical formulas on the Web. Math ML is a half-structured data facilitating the search engine to do full-text search. Later ASCIIMath ML was proposed, so we can describe the symbols and structures of formulas with ASCII text. This paper focuses on how to edit and display the mathematical formulas in Web pages, and complete such a system: using Math Jax as the formula render engine in UEditor; using ASCIIMath ML text to represent the local storage of formulas; using Math ML as formula rendering language.Through the mathematical formula editor of this paper, formulas can be edited in the Web page directly, which will make up for the lack of the traditional way of pictures。In fact, you can save nearly 50 times of the storage space in the formula rendering efficiency. In addition, Math ML format makes the retrieval and reuse of formula possible.
