Originally created by @garv-shah on GitHub (Mar 30, 2022).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy/issues/426

1~3 main use cases of the proposed feature
Ex: As a math student , I think it'd be great to be able to have support for inline maths or full maths blocks. This could possibly be achieved with LATEX similar to how Notion does it

what types of users can benefit from using your proposed feature
Ex: math students, general note takers which include equations, programmers, etc

Additional context
Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

I'm desperately looking for this feature on every Flutter editor I've found but none of them have it, some are working on it, but it's taking quite a long time.
Would be cool to have AppFlowy have a stable support first.

I've been working a bit on maths support on quill like editors, you can take a look at this pr if you'd like to add anything

For now the best bet seems either to make a popup dialogue where you enter the LATEX, that then gets embedded in, like notion, or to have in text maths editing with a custom keyboard, powered by 'math_keyboard'

Hi, @SSebigo @garv-shah. Recently, we implemented a KateX plugin in our editor. Does it meet your expectations?

ah that's great! it might be nice to have the ability to edit the maths afterwards, or to have an inline editor without the popup dialogue, not sure, but it's really nice to see that the support for maths is there now :)

@LucasXu0 is it possible to have a toolbar to make the editor look like a basic WYSIWYG editor?
I can't seem to find anything related to that in the README.

Thx for the info, I'll try that today, it looks almost like what I'm looking for.

Did you mean to embed the Latex in the text? Like this,

It's possible. But it hasn't happened yet.

@SSebigo I didn't implement the inline formula for now. This screenshot is from Github. The inline LateX feature is on my plan.

Note to anyone who sees this later: It is not clear how to access the inline editor, as you don't get an option when writing /math or any other slash command. (By the way, it would be nice to have that!)

To get inline math you have to right-click on a point in the document and find it in the context menu.
