                      MathType Editor parameters

                      Reading time: 1min

                      Reference for the parameters supported by the MathType editor.

                      Summary

                      This reference describes the parameters that control the behavior, appearance, and localization of the MathType editor. Parameters can be configured through the frontend using mathTypeParameters.editorParameters or, where supported, through the wiriseditorparameters setting in MathType Integration Services.

                      Configuration

                      Configuration method Location

                      MathType Integration Services wiriseditorparameters (configuration.ini)

                      Frontend parameters override the corresponding MathType Integration Services defaults. Some rendering-related parameters are only supported through wiriseditorparameters.
