Choose a Math Editor

Paligo's built-in editor MathQuill is the default math editor. It is free to use and you can use it to create simple equations. If you need to use more complex equations, you can switch to the MathType editor instead, although this does require a Wiris MathType subscription.

The MathType editor is backwards-compatible with the built-in editor, so you can switch between them if needed.
