@anywhichway/math-science-formula v0.0.6

math-science-formula

A web component for rendering LaTeX based math and chemical formulas.

Usage

@anywhichway/math-science-formula is designed to be loaded and used from a CDN like https://www.jsdelivr.com. It is also designed to be loaded and instantiated by @anywhichway/quick-component.

Insert this line into your HTML file:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@anywhichway/quick-component.js" component="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@anywhichway/math-science-formula@0.0.5"></script>

Version numbers are used above to insulate your use from unexpected changes due to future enhancements. You can also use the most recent version of the software with the code below:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@anywhichway/quick-component.js" component="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@anywhichway/math-science-formula"></script>

After this you can include the tag <math-science-formula> in your HTML.

Configuration

<math-science-formula> is not a typical web component in that it does not use slots for configuration. Instead, you just put any LaTex for Math or Chemistry inside the start and end tags.

For example:

<math-science-formula>
    \sqrt[n]{1+x+x^2+x^3+\ldots}
</math-science-formula>

<math-science-formula>
    \ce{2H + O -> H2O}
</math-science-formula>

Use the element's style attribute to determine inline or block layout, not the typical '[' or '(' used with LaTeX.
