Framework to render and to edit LaTeX formula

• Description
• Proposal

Description

The framework should come in two parts:

1. rendering of LaTeX math formula.
2. LaTeX equation editor

Technical Details

The tools should depend on:

• Pharo freetype interface to render font.
• the Morph user interface tool kit.

No external libraries or on-line services should be used.

Why LaTeX and not MathML: LaTeX formula can be hand edited, MathML not really as there are not very human readable.
