<h1>A Web Component for Math Input</h1>

[](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/arnog/mathlive/master/LICENSE.txt)
MathLive is a powerful web component that provides an easy-to-use interface for
editing math formulas.
With over 800 **built-in LaTeX commands**, MathLive renders beautiful,
**TeX-quality typesetting**.
It's designed for **mobile devices** with an extensive set of virtual keyboards
for math input, and is compatible with screen readers, including custom
math-to-speech support for improved accessibility.
MathLive outputs to LaTeX, MathML, ASCIIMath, and MathJSON formats, making it
incredibly versatile.
And the best part? It's easy to customize to your needs!

## 🚀 Getting Started
Using MathLive is easy! Simply add a `<math-field>` tag to your page. It
initializes automatically and works just like a `<textarea>` or `<button>`
element. You can manipulate the mathfield using methods of the element and
listen for events to be notified when its internal state changes.
`npm install mathlive`
```javascript
import 'mathlive';
```
```html
<html lang="en-US">
<body>
<math-field>f(x)=</math-field>
</body>
</html>
```
You can also add it using CDN
```html
<head>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/mathlive"></script>
</head>
```
Check documentation for [React](https://cortexjs.io/mathlive/guides/react/) and
[interaction with Mathfield](https://cortexjs.io/mathlive/guides/interacting/).
## 📖 Documentation
MathLive has an extensive set of documentation to help you get started,
including guides on interacting with a mathfield, customizing it, executing
commands, defining custom LaTeX macros, managing inline and keyboard shortcuts,
controlling speech output, and displaying static math formulas. You can find all
of these guides on the [CortexJS.io website](https://cortexjs.io/mathlive/).
In addition to the guides, you can also find reference documentation of the
MathLive API on the [MathLive SDK page](https://cortexjs.io/docs/mathlive).
## FAQ
**Q:** When is the next release?
MathLive follows a semi-annual release cycle, with major releases typically
scheduled for June and January. These may be followed by patch releases to
address any issues that arise shortly after deployment. Additionally, an
out-of-band release can be made if requested by a sponsor or if a community
member submits a pull request and requests a release to include their
contribution.
