Integration of MathLive for Visual LaTeX Editing in Lexical Editor #6011

@Sebtechnik

Description

@Sebtechnik

Describe the feature you'd like

The “hack” from @codemicro “Render TeX/LaTeX Mathematics with MathJax” renders LaTeX code in the Lexical Editor's read mode, but it doesn't do so in edit mode. I have already experimented a little with “MathLive” (an open-source JavaScript library for entering and displaying mathematical formulas in the browser). However, I have not yet been able to integrate it profitably into the editor. This is mainly due to the lack of detailed description of the editor and how it can be customized. This would allow formulas created with MathLive to be displayed and edited directly in edit mode.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users

For people who can't write LaTeX, it's better if they have some help with writing it. This would reduce the hurdle for mathematical, chemical, or statistical applications to almost zero.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

It works [via the "hack" from @codemicro], but it doesn't do so in edit mode.
