This is a page for discussion about the Formula editing plug-in for VisualEditor, released as part of the Beta Features programme.

What do you like about the current formulae editing tool?
I think this makes it really clear exactly how the formula will show when saved, without having to do slow trial-and-error page previews. Jdforrester (WMF) (talk) 06:34, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

What would you change about the current formulae editing tool?
I don't think "LaTeX" is a great label for this - perhaps "Formula" instead? Jdforrester (WMF) (talk) 06:33, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Label

In time, I'd really like us to provide a proper visual editor for formulae, rather than requiring users to know LaTeX - possibly a drag-and-drop box of MathJax icons? Jdforrester (WMF) (talk) 06:33, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Proper visual editor
 * I was just coming here to suggest something like this. MathJax iconography FTW.  Sj (talk) 00:18, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

The popup dialog box is too small for some equations. It needs to be resizable so you can read the full source of a large equation. It also needs to be movable so it does not hide the formula you are editing.--Salix alba (talk) 08:57, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Make diaglog movable and resizeable
