E.g., in $ $ MathJaX gets to see the tags. The parser knows to spare the content between dollar signs. MathML looks like this: īut after the MarkDown parser does its job, what remains is x Long answerĪn additional complication to the above is that the MarkDown parser used by SE kills all XML tags except for a very limited set. Unless the Input Panel can produce LaTeX directly. Suggested workaround: try to convert MathML to LaTeX and then paste LaTeX code here.
The main problem is that SE is not configured to allow MathML tags as user input. Browsers, for the most part, cannot do it natively, but with the MathJaX script they do. MS Word, its OpenOffice analog, and some other software can render MathML. Math Input Panel outputs your equations in MathML format. The insert button is the only thing that outputs the markup, and it bypasses the user, sending data directly into the application that currently has focus. In case anyone is interested in what Math Input Panel looks like (I never saw it until today), here is a screenshot. If you don't mind spending $97 on MathType, then that may be a solution: MathType claims to produce LaTeX in a way that is "MathSE-compatible".
The result is that the Input Panel works only with expensive products like MS Word and MathType, which are designed to receive the data in the way that the input panel produces. It could be that seeing an XML tag was found to cause brain damage in Microsoft users, I'm not sure. The Input Panel generates MathML markup for your formulas, but it won't give it to the user.
Marko Panic, the program manager for the development of this tool confirmed to me that this was a design decision as they didn't want the end user to be faced with raw XML. The Math Input Panel doesn't offer fallback text representations of the XML markup on the clipboard. The answer below was written under the assumption that you could get MathML markup from Math Input Panel.
