Wherever you can add and format text in your course, you can launch the math editor to create mathematical formulas.
The math editor is written by WIRIS and based on standards like MathML for internal representation and the PNG image format for displaying formulas. The math editor is based on Javascript and runs on any browser and operating system, including smartphones and tablets.
In the course's editor, select the Launch Math Editor icon to open the WIRIS editor window. Based on which course view you see, your editor may have one or three rows of options.
To use your keyboard to jump to the editor toolbar, press ALT + F10. On a Mac, press Fn + ALT + F10. Use the arrow keys to select an option.
