Use the MathType Editor

The MathType editor has more features than the default built-in math editor MathQuill. To be able to use the MathType editor, you need:

  • Paligo Enterprise plan

  • A Wiris MathType subscription.

  • To provide Wiris with the URL of your Paligo instance. Wiris need this to set up the integration with Paligo in their system. You cannot use the MathType editor until Wiris have set up the integration for you and confirmed the integration.

  • To enable the MathType editor in Paligo, see Choose a Math Editor.
