Add LaTeX-Support for Input

[BiLachner]

Special for all kind of Natural Science and Math a lot fo formulas are needed. Instead of uploading a picture für every formula it would be nice, if LaTex would be supported in the input lines. In LearningApps.org the Code is inherited with $$LaTeX-Code$$ and then renderd, when the text is loaded in an activity.

Thanks

PS: I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask for it but "h5p-editor" sounds good.

Hi @BiLachner , this is a really good idea and it has been discussed quite a bit on the forums: https://h5p.org/search/node/latex If someone from the community contributes the code or hires a third party to develop it, the Core Team will happily review and merge it in.

Hi, we have done that in the following way, we rebuild the ckeditor with the builder link from build-config.js and added the "Mathematical Formulas" Plugin. Theres a little extra work to trigger mathjax when the input comes late as when using interactive video, for this we hacked the library js/h5p.js (https://github.com/TobiGa/hvp_mathjax_library/blob/master/js/h5p.js line 363-469)

In the upcoming release, H5P will support adding mathematical formulas. It is implemented in a generic way (introducing something called addons):

• There's a new library called h5p-math-display
• Whenever you type e.g. $$<latex>$$, this library will be included when you view the content type
• h5p-math-display will load mathjax, which processes all latex expressions
