Insert Math with Mathml or latex

[king-jam1]

I hope that the input of mathematical formulas and symbols can support the use of LaTeX or MathML, which is more compatible. Of course, existing methods can also be retained for coexistence
latexlive this website can export word. Looking forward to your answer.

Yes, this is possible,

Is this what you need?

I have reviewed the document you provided, but it is very inconvenient. For generating complex mathematical formulas, I would prefer to use LaTeX or MathML directly, and docx supports this approach. If the functionality hasn't been available yet, I really hope you can give me some advice on how to add such a feature on top of docx.

That would require writing a parser/ast generator though. Are there any parsers available? I am sure this is not a trivial project

[king-jam1]

I don't quite understand what you're trying to express. Can you explain it in detail?

[dolanmiu]

As in, you are suggesting docx to support LaTeX expressions? Something like latexlive

Feel free to make a PR to allow support for this, but from my knowledge, I am saying it is not easy

I can see someone has created a package: https://github.com/siefkenj/unified-latex?tab=readme-ov-file

If anyone finds is helpful, I have written a very simple parser for a personal project. It supports divisions, subscripts and superscripts.

/** Converts simple mathematics equations to DOCX objects */
function stringToMathItem(l_str){
	if(l_str.includes("/")){
		// Find fraction
		let slpt = l_str.split("/");
		return new docx.MathFraction({numerator: [stringToMathItem(slpt[0])], denominator: [stringToMathItem(slpt[1])]});

	}else if(l_str.includes("_")){
		// Find subscript
		let slpt = l_str.split("_");
		return new docx.MathSubScript({children: [stringToMathItem(slpt[0])], subScript: [stringToMathItem(slpt[1])]});

	}else if(l_str.includes("^")){
		// Find superscript
		let slpt = l_str.split("^");
		return new docx.MathSuperScript({children: [stringToMathItem(slpt[0])], superScript: [stringToMathItem(slpt[1])]});
	}
	
	return new docx.MathRun(`${l_str}`);
};

It may require splitting a string first, e.g.:

let mathChildren = [];
mystr.split(" ").forEach(l_str =>{
    mathChildren.push(stringToMathItem(l_str));
    mathChildren.push(new docx.MathRun(` `));
});
