WeBWorK MathView

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.
