Package Exports
- mathlive
- mathlive/dist/mathlive.core.css
- mathlive/dist/mathlive.css
- mathlive/dist/mathlive.mjs
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (mathlive) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

How To Use MathLive
Displaying Math
Render math equations by adding a few lines to your web page.

<script type="module">

MathLive.renderMathInDocument();
</script>
</body>

Editing Math
You can also incorporate a “mathfield” to edit math just like you would edit text. The MathLive APIs allow you to interact with the mathfield, including extracting its content, inserting placeholders and more.

Installing MathLive
The examples above use a CDN, which is the fastest and easiest way to get started. However, if you:
- want to contribute to MathLive
- use your own CDN
- make some other changes to MathLive you can also install it locally in your project.
To do so:
$ npm install -s mathlive
$ npm start
This will make a local build of MathLive, run a local HTTP server and open a page with the examples in your browser.
