[Feature Request] Maths Support

[garv-shah]

I was wondering if it was possible to add maths support with LATEX? This plugin could be quite good to implement something like that.

I'd be happy to do it myself, but I'm not too sure how to add a new element to the page UI. I skimmed through the documentation but it wasn't quite clear, would I start with the text_block.dart file?

Thank you very much!! :)

Does quill define format for it?

[garv-shah]

format for the maths input?

[singerdmx]

Need the corresponding attribute for it. Please check quill documentation.

[garv-shah]

i presume it wouldn't be within the main quill package but rather in something likes mathquill

[singerdmx]

We need to make sure web version of react quill can be compatible

[garv-shah]

I'm pretty sure it is, since there are quite a few "react-mathquill" type packages which seem to work together from a quick google search

[singerdmx]

So what is it like for underlying json data?

[garv-shah]

I think it would just have a tag like normal, and then the math would be stored as LATEX

If you can guide me through how to add additional components, I could try to add it myself?

Again, the first thing is to define json data as in

https://github.com/singerdmx/flutter-quill/blob/master/example/assets/sample_data.json

[garv-shah]

It's all maths stored as LATEX (or KATEX) inside the JSON
If you look at https://quilljs.com/docs/formats/ it's the "Formula" attribute, the same as normal maths in quilljs, and it can be edited with the package I linked above
I can't find an example of a JSON with the data, but if you can find a comprehensive quilljs one, you should be able to find it

[garv-shah]

oh, i watched the videos, and it seems you went through the same website I sent :P
so yeah, the attribute we're looking at is the embed that's not supported yet, which is formulas

[singerdmx]

Try https://codesandbox.io/s/3zf03 and you can intercept web traffic to figure out the json

[garv-shah]

i got it typed in, how do I get the JSON? sorry, i can't find it in dev tools

that just seems to be giving me html? is there a way to export the delta document?
