Quick Start

MathFlow is a free, keyboard-first smart latex math equations editor to write math equations & chemical equations visually (+ LaTeX editor).

You can easily insert symbols, change colors, background, fonts, scale, preview, storage, more.

It renderes high-quality image output which you can use in your website, Docs, Slides, Sheets & Forms.

A quick overview of Create > Render > Update > Delete > Export > Import, Life-cycle of this math typing add-on:

Create

• Use Mathfield
  • Visual editor (Mathfield) is designed for writing equations intuitively.
  • Use \command directly in the mathfield to insert symbols, operators, functions, execute latex commands, and more.
    
    Tab : accept suggestion
    Enter : exit latex mode
    Esc : toggle math-latex mode
    Shift+scroll : horizontal scrolling
    
    
  • Math Solver
    Right-click on mathfield to evaluate, simplify, or compare algebraic or numerical expressions and
    Customize text, background color, border, accents, decorators, and more.
  • Or use the advanced virtual math keyboard to insert operators, functions, symbols, and more.
• Use LaTeX field to write purely LaTeX for both mathematical and chemical equations.
• Live preview updates with every character you type in the editor.

Render

• Adjust the Scale value to (1, 1.25, 1.5, 2…) for larger and higher quality image output.
• Once you are happy with your math input, hit the Render button.
• A high-quality image will be produced, which you can copy-paste in Docs, Slides, Sheets, Forms* or export as needed.

Update

• Every time the Render button is pressed, a new render history item is created.
• You can access it by clicking on the manage history icon in the top-right corner.
• You can open them back in the editor to edit and render as needed.

Delete

• You can manage rendered items in the history panel.
• You can delete items one at a time or all at once.

Export or Backup

• In the history panel, you have the option to export all your render history data.
• Exported data contains the LaTeX and some associated information for each render in a JSON file.
• You can share this file with your students or colleagues.

Import or Restore

• The exported json data file can be imported through the history panel.
• Once imported, you can open any item in the editor to edit, evaluate, customize, and render as needed.

These steps complete the lifecycle of the MathFlow math & chemical editor add-on.

Currenly works with Docs, Slides, Sheets, Forms*
