                      Gateway to the official JavaScript API reference for the MathType editor.

                      Summary

                      The JavaScript GUI API provides classes and methods for embedding, initializing, customizing, and interacting with both the MathType editor and MathType Hand in web applications. Use this reference when you need low-level control over the editor beyond the configuration options documented in this guide.
