Reference Manual for the MathML Editor

## Math editor features

This module explains how to open the Math Editor, create math, edit existing math, and keyboard shortcuts. There is also a separate tutorial page with examples showcasing the features.

At the end of this module are nuances and limitations of the editor. Please, let us know which ones you'd really like to see incorporated!

## Opening the editor

When editing a Module using using Mozilla's Firefox browser, click on a part of the module to open a blue editing box . On the top-right hand side of the box is a "MathML Editor" link which will open up the editor .

## User interface

The Editor has 4 main sections, detailed below. The toolbar provides a way to insert new operations, a navigation tree to show where the cursor is located, and standard buttons for undo, preview, and source editing.

The main editing area is located below the toolbar and contains the math that is being edited.

## Toolbar

The toolbar contains a row of buttons representing categories of different mathematical operations. These are enabled when something is selected in the editing area . Note: The editor does not infer multiplication and addition. See Nuances for how to insert next to existing math by wrapping existing math. Explain the different sections, when it's enabled, how things get inserted, and Keyboard Entry for things.

Clicking a category in the top row of the toolbar will open a menu of mathematical operations to insert. To the right of each operation is a name that can be entered from the keyboard at the cursor position in the main editing area . For example, instead of using the toolbar to enter the symbol for pi, the user could enter " pi " or " <pi/> " (the MathML version of pi) in the cursor and press the Enter key.

## Path

Shows the path to the cursor location. Math is organized in a tree-like hierarchy (see Navigating Math ) and the path represents where in the tree the cursor currently is. The path (and context ) are important because they define what can be inserted and where it will go.

## Undo/redo

These buttons allow the user to undo an operation such as deletion or insertion. See Keyboard Shortcuts for details on using these features from just the keyboard.

## Preview

Shows what math will look like when module is published. To resume editing, one must click the Preview button a second time.

## View source

Math in Connexions is represented in an XML format known as MathML. Clicking the View Source button will allow editing of the raw MathML.

## Editing area

This is the main area for creating math. It begins empty, but math can be pasted directly in here from Connextions. The tutorials contain instructions on moving math from Connexions to the math editor and back. The editing area is the most important part of the editor and as several subsections, outlined below:

• Math is structured like a tree .
• Colors are used in this area to denote required information and contextual clues.
• Content vs Presentation Math discusses the two different types of math the editor supports.
• The cursor is discussed in detail below, including navigation and different editing modes.
• Since the exact location of the cursor may at times be ambiguous, the context provides visual cues.
• Keyboard strokes are discussed in detail.
• Finally, empty blocks are discussed below.

what is variations in raman spectra for nanomaterials
I only see partial conversation and what's the question here!
what about nanotechnology for water purification
please someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think one can use nanoparticles, specially silver nanoparticles for water treatment.
Damian
yes that's correct
Professor
I think
Professor
what is the stm
is there industrial application of fullrenes. What is the method to prepare fullrene on large scale.?
Rafiq
industrial application...? mmm I think on the medical side as drug carrier, but you should go deeper on your research, I may be wrong
Damian
How we are making nano material?
what is a peer
What is meant by 'nano scale'?
What is STMs full form?
LITNING
scanning tunneling microscope
Sahil
how nano science is used for hydrophobicity
Santosh
Do u think that Graphene and Fullrene fiber can be used to make Air Plane body structure the lightest and strongest. Rafiq
Rafiq
what is differents between GO and RGO?
Mahi
what is simplest way to understand the applications of nano robots used to detect the cancer affected cell of human body.? How this robot is carried to required site of body cell.? what will be the carrier material and how can be detected that correct delivery of drug is done Rafiq
Rafiq
what is Nano technology ?
write examples of Nano molecule?
Bob
The nanotechnology is as new science, to scale nanometric
brayan
nanotechnology is the study, desing, synthesis, manipulation and application of materials and functional systems through control of matter at nanoscale
Damian
Is there any normative that regulates the use of silver nanoparticles?
what king of growth are you checking .?
Renato
What fields keep nano created devices from performing or assimulating ? Magnetic fields ? Are do they assimilate ?
why we need to study biomolecules, molecular biology in nanotechnology?
?
Kyle
yes I'm doing my masters in nanotechnology, we are being studying all these domains as well..
why?
what school?
Kyle
biomolecules are e building blocks of every organics and inorganic materials.
Joe
anyone know any internet site where one can find nanotechnology papers?
research.net
kanaga
sciencedirect big data base
Ernesto
Introduction about quantum dots in nanotechnology
what does nano mean?
nano basically means 10^(-9). nanometer is a unit to measure length.
Bharti
do you think it's worthwhile in the long term to study the effects and possibilities of nanotechnology on viral treatment?
absolutely yes
Daniel
how did you get the value of 2000N.What calculations are needed to arrive at it
