Alternately, enter the 4-character Unicode sequence in the Go to Unicode box and click Insert. Newer-version users choose your character from one of the dialog's tabs or if using the advanced Symbol Map dialog (opens by default in older versions), set Font, as needed, leave Unicode checked, find your character and click Insert. Right-click and choose Insert: Symbol Map (2022b or later) or in previous versions, just Symbol Map.

Choose a font and enter the Unicode 4-character hex code sequence (e.g.To create a text label, click the Text tool on the Tools toolbar, then click at the point on the graph, worksheet, etc. For existing text objects, the user can also choose to add special characters and formatting via the text object's Properties dialog box.Īdding Unicode Characters, Versions 2018 and Newer.When creating new text objects, most users will add special characters and formatting using "in-place" methods (click the Text tool or choose Add Text from the shortcut menu).There are two basic modes for inserting special characters into text labels: It would take some work, but I think it's doable.1.32 FAQ-148 How Do I Insert Special Characters into Text Labels? I'd like to see the second solution implemented here. It is also better future-proof, if in the future browsers begin to support MathML directly and scripts like MathJaX will no longer be needed. The second solution is cleaner: you'd be able to paste MathML without surrounding it with extraneous dollar signs. $ is MathML pretending to be TeX to avoid MarkDown.
MathJaX is perfectly capable of rendering MathML, but unfortunately it concludes from the dollar signs that the content is TeX, and we get $ $. E.g., in $ $ MathJaX gets to see the tags. The parser knows to spare the content between dollar signs. MathML looks like this: īut after the MarkDown parser does its job, what remains is x Long answerĪn additional complication to the above is that the MarkDown parser used by SE kills all XML tags except for a very limited set. Unless the Input Panel can produce LaTeX directly. Suggested workaround: try to convert MathML to LaTeX and then paste LaTeX code here. The main problem is that SE is not configured to allow MathML tags as user input. Browsers, for the most part, cannot do it natively, but with the MathJaX script they do.
#Why i cannot insert equation in word software#
MS Word, its OpenOffice analog, and some other software can render MathML. Math Input Panel outputs your equations in MathML format. The insert button is the only thing that outputs the markup, and it bypasses the user, sending data directly into the application that currently has focus. In case anyone is interested in what Math Input Panel looks like (I never saw it until today), here is a screenshot. If you don't mind spending $97 on MathType, then that may be a solution: MathType claims to produce LaTeX in a way that is "MathSE-compatible". The result is that the Input Panel works only with expensive products like MS Word and MathType, which are designed to receive the data in the way that the input panel produces. It could be that seeing an XML tag was found to cause brain damage in Microsoft users, I'm not sure. The Input Panel generates MathML markup for your formulas, but it won't give it to the user. Marko Panic, the program manager for the development of this tool confirmed to me that this was a design decision as they didn't want the end user to be faced with raw XML.
The Math Input Panel doesn't offer fallback text representations of the XML markup on the clipboard. The answer below was written under the assumption that you could get MathML markup from Math Input Panel.
