3. Update Froala configuration:

   • Add MathType and ChemType buttons to the toolbar and the image menu:

       toolbar = ['wirisEditor', 'wirisChemistry']
       toolbarButtons: ['wirisEditor', 'wirisChemistry'],
       toolbarButtonsMD: ['wirisEditor', 'wirisChemistry'],
       toolbarButtonsSM: ['wirisEditor', 'wirisChemistry'],
       toolbarButtonsXS: ['wirisEditor', 'wirisChemistry'],
       imageEditButtons: ['wirisEditor', 'wirisChemistry'],
     })
     

   • Allow all tags, in order to allow MathML:

     ${}.froalaEditor({
       htmlAllowedTags:  ['.*'],
       htmlAllowedAttrs: ['.*'],
     })
     

   • Disable useClasses:

     ${}.froalaEditor({
       useClasses: false,
     })
     

     Notice that the example is assuming that you have the following directory structure:

     └───index.html
     └───node_modules
         └───@wiris/mathtype-froala
     

Services

This npm module uses remotely hosted services to render MathML data. However, it is strongly recommended to install these services in your backend. This will allow you, among other things, to configure the service and to locally store the images generated by MathType.

The services are available Java, PHP, .NET and Ruby on Rails. If you use any of these technologies, please download the plugin for your backend technology from here.

In order to install the plugin along with the correspondent services, please follow the Froala install instructions.
