![]() You can then edit these equations as you would any other equation in Word or LibreOffice should you need to edit them later. In recent versions of LibreOffice Writer, insert a formula (“Insert” -> “Object” -> “Formula”) and then once the formula editor opens use “Tools” -> “Import MathML from Clipboard”. As a keyboard sequence, this is Ctrl-V, Ctrl, T or “Home” -> Paste” -> “Keep Text Only” in the menu. ![]() In newer versions of Word, simply paste the output into the document and when the paste options icon appears, choose “Keep Text Only”. ![]() MathML: This result can be copied and pasted into Word and LibreOffice documents to import the equation. Mhchem: This is basically the same output as the LaTeX result, but can be copied and pasted directly into existing formulae without having to remove the LaTeX command too. It’s based on Python, and we parse it using Python to check student answers to symbolic questions. Python: This one isn’t technically pure Python, but it’s the format we use when we check answers. The chemistry result uses the \ce to the preamble of your document and copy-paste away! (Technically speaking the chemistry result does not actually require the $-signs around it). You shouldn’t need to use any packages, but may find amsmath useful. LaTeX: To use the maths LaTeX result, just copy and paste the output into a LaTeX document. The chemistry editor provides output in only slightly different formats: LaTeX, which is just a wrapper for the second format mhchem, a LaTeX package for displaying chemical equations and MathML again. ![]() We provide maths output in three formats: LaTeX, which is how maths is rendered on Isaac and written by professionals Python, which is what we use to check answers and MathML, a common standard for sharing maths equations (used for Word and LibreOffice). ![]() It can actually do all of these things, and we have a page dedicated to making this process as easy as possible: /equality. Can it be used instead of the equation editor in Microsoft Word and LibreOffice? Can it be used to generate LaTeX expressions for more advanced work? We’ve put a lot of work into our Equation Editor to make it as usable as possible and whilst it’s still very much a work in progress, we get asked from time to time if it can be used to do more than answer questions on Isaac.
