TinyMCE ASCIIMATH Plugin for Plone

Introduction

A TinyMCE plugin for Plone to enter ASCIIMath in the TinyMCE Wysiwyg Editor.

It is based on the TinyMCE plugin written by David Lippman as part of the IMathAS project: http://www.imathas.com/. A demo of the IMathAS version of the plugin is available here: http://www.imathas.com/editordemo/demo.html

For FullMarks (and Plone), the plugin has been modified to always render MathML and not use any fallbacks that generate images server-side. Instead it uses MathJax for cross-browser rendering of MathML.

Additionally it uses the latest version (ver 2.0) of the ASCIIMATH javascript library by Peter Jipsen available here: http://mathcs.chapman.edu/~jipsen/mathml/asciimath.html

This plugin was developed as part of the FullMarks project funded by the Shuttleworth Foundation, an open educational repository of model questions and answers. See http://www.fullmarks.org.za and http://github.com/fullmarks for more information.

NOTE: This plugin depends on fullmarks.mathjax that includes the full MathJax library containing all the fonts necessary to render math properly in your browser. The total size of this package is 17MB.
