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?
Instant update as-you-type

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?
Label

I don't think "LaTeX" is a great label for this - perhaps "Formula" instead? Jdforrester (WMF) (talk) 06:33, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

Proper visual editor

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)
 * I was just coming here to suggest something like this. MathJax iconography FTW.  Sj (talk) 00:18, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

Make diaglog movable and resizeable

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)
 * It is really to small. Helder 14:27, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
