Preview nicely formatted math equations as you type them into WeBWorK answer boxes!

What is WeBWorK MathView?
WeBWorK MathView is a Chrome extension enabling real-time, neatly formatted previews of equations typed into WeBWorK answer boxes. This eliminates the need for the 'Preview My Answers' button, augments the input box with bracket highlighting, provides a 'Clear Answers' button, alters the font in answer boxes, and disables spellcheck for math texts. It uses KaTeX, MathJax, and AsciiMath open-source libraries, while not being officially affiliated with the WeBWorK project or the Mathematical Association of America.

Summary

With the WeBWorK MathView extension you will see live previews of the equations you type into WeBWorK answer boxes, fully formatted in proper math notation. No more need to use the "Preview My Answers" button which reloads the entire page.

Extra Features:

  • Bracket highlighting in the input box (mismatched brackets and current brackets)
  • Adds a "Clear Answers" button to clear all the answer boxes on the page. Useful if you're redoing questions while studying and don't want to see the answers right away
  • Changes the answer box font to a math font
  • Disables spellcheck on the answer boxes so your math text isn't always underlined in red
