I am working on a project of question paper generator(offline) which requires the the user to input the questions. Obviously there will be some questions of mathematics as well hence I need to invoke or create a text editor that will create mathematical expressions such as integral symbol or limit operator etc.
I am using java swing GUI and mysql database to achieve the purpose and hoping to use JEditorPane for text area.
Please help me , I took about a day to search the internet to solve this problem.
And also I need to know whether the mathematical expression the text editor will create could be stored in mysql database column?
Things I tried:-
- Tried changing the text type of
JEditorPaneto text/html but I realised that I can add subscript, superscript and even images but this wont add that beautiful LaTeX mathematical expressions and many complex operators. - Tried using JMathTex but I couldn't resolve how it will enable the user to input the expressions, according to me JMathTex is not the solution to my problem.
- Even thought tries of using MathJax but it requires java script and
JEditorPanedoes not support java script.
I repeat the problem, I want to create a text editor (just like MathType) in my swing application so that user can input the question along with the required expressions so that the question can be added to database for random generation.
