The MathML Toolbox Standard
MathFlow for FrameMaker
Design Science has partnered with Adobe to combine MathFlow's industry standard MathML authoring and editing technology with the FrameMaker product line. The MathFlow Style and Structure Editors are built into FrameMaker and XML Author as 30-day trial software that can be unlocked by purchasing a key from Design Science. Fixed and concurrent (floating) licenses are available.
MathFlow Editors: Style and Structure
Style and Structure. With each, the user experience is similar to how Design Science's MathType product works with Microsoft Word — the operator double-clicks on an equation in FrameMaker and it automatically opens in the MathFlow editor window. To compose a new equation, a click on the MathFlow button in FrameMaker's toolbar opens a new equation window. Equations appear in typeset form within FrameMaker and are saved as MathML within the XML document.
Both the Style and Structure Editors use MathML as their primary data format, each focused on a different kind of user and application:
Style Editor
The Style Editor is tailored to the needs of content authors or subject matter experts (SME), and provides precise control over the visual appearance of math expressions. It is the ideal choice for applications where authors are creating content for formal publication, such as product documentation, journal submissions, etc.
Structure Editor
The Structure Editor is for XML content professionals who need fine control over visual presentation, as well as its underlying MathML structure. It is the best choice for demanding publishing workflow applications.
