Description
Glyphwell brings professional math authoring straight into the WordPress block editor — no shortcodes, no external services, no fuss.
Compose display equations with the standalone Equation block, or drop inline equations right into your Paragraphs, Headings, Lists, and Table cells. A MathLive-powered WYSIWYG field lets you type and click your way to polished math, while a tabbed symbol palette puts Greek letters, operators, relations, sets, arrows, and more just a tap away. Need a matrix? The built-in matrix builder lets you set the size, choose your brackets, and add or remove rows and columns visually.
Prefer raw LaTeX? Flip on the Show LaTeX toggle to edit the source directly. Every equation is stored as clean LaTeX and rendered on the front end by the bundled KaTeX engine for fast, crisp math on every device, with sanitized MathML kept alongside for portability and accessibility.
Everything ships locally. MathLive, KaTeX, fonts, styles, and scripts are all bundled with the plugin — nothing is ever loaded from a CDN or an external service, and no tracking is included. Front-end assets load only on pages that actually contain equations, keeping the rest of your site lean. Fully translation-ready with a bundled translation template.
