## Description

Formulix adds a block to the block editor (Gutenberg) to insert and re-edit math
formulas, long-hand arithmetic (“contas armadas”: long division, multiplication 
with carries, subtraction with borrowing), function graphs and chemistry items. 
It is built for teachers, schools and educational publishers.

 * **Visual formulas:** fractions, roots, powers and matrices without knowing LaTeX(
   LaTeX is accepted too).
 * **Arithmetic as it is taught:** long division, multiplication and subtraction
   laid out step by step, with aligned decimals.
 * **Algebra:** 1st and 2nd degree equations, 2×2 systems, LCM/GCD, fractions, rule
   of three, tables and function studies.
 * **Graphs:** up to five functions with roots, vertices and intersections, inserted
   as PNG and re-editable.
 * **Chemistry:** equation balancing, molar mass, electron configuration, periodic
   table, lab glassware and carbon chains.

The interface supports Brazilian Portuguese, English, Spanish, French, German, Italian,
Japanese, Simplified and Traditional Chinese and Hindi, and uses local notation (
for example, decimal comma).

The plugin is free and GPL, with no trial period and no local features locked behind
payment. Calculations, chemistry, graphs and insert conversions are performed by
the external Formulix service, which works without an account: your site domain 
gets the free plan, and when it runs out you register the domain and choose a paid
plan. There is a free plan and paid plans with monthly insert limits; the service
does real processing and is not a license check.

Items are saved as static HTML. Formulas and tables stay in the post; graph and 
drawing PNGs go to the WordPress media library. Reading posts does not contact the
API and does not load the editor scripts. Content stays readable if the plugin is
removed.

Tested automatically on WordPress 6.8 and 7.1.3 with PHP 8.3. The classic editor
is not supported.

### External services

This plugin relies on the Formulix API, operated by Kaio Spacini (https://formulix.
com.br, suporte@formulix.com.br), to calculate arithmetic and expressions, solve
chemistry operations, draw graphs and convert the confirmed item into HTML, MathML
or SVG. When needed, the browser converts the SVG to PNG.

Endpoint: the URL in Settings > Formulix, https://api.formulix.com.br by default(
clear it to disable). There is no request on activation; requests happen only when
an editor opens the Formulix dialog. The client code ships with the plugin; no code
is downloaded from the API.

What is sent and when:

 * POST /v1/calc: the operation, values and math/chemistry expressions typed, graph
   settings, language and notation, for automatic previews when panels open and 
   while typing. Happens before the insert is confirmed and does not count against
   the plan.
 * POST /v1/calc (op “word”): when pasting from Word into the dialog formula field,
   the clipboard HTML and RTF. Does not count against the plan.
 * GET /v1/tabela?idioma=…: the language, when the periodic table opens. No post
   content is sent.
 * POST /v1/inserir: item type and data (for example LaTeX, numbers, chemical equation
   or graph functions/points), language and notation, when an item is confirmed.
   This request is metered for the plan.
 * When a key is configured, every request carries it in the X-Formulix-Chave header.
   As with any HTTP request, the operator receives the editor’s IP address, the 
   site origin and standard browser headers. Do not type personal data into the 
   fields.

The plugin never sends the whole post, titles, user records, passwords or the media
library to the API; only the data of the item being edited. PNGs are uploaded to
the site’s own authenticated /wp/v2/media endpoint (REST nonce and upload_files 
check), not to an external service.

### Development

Sources and the build script ship in the plugin’s source folder. Run npm install
and npm run build there. The development repository is private; the shipped sources
are complete for rebuilding the plugin.

## Blocks

This plugin provides 1 block.

 *   Formulix Math and science with Formulix.

## Installation

 1. Install the plugin from Plugins > Add New, or upload the ZIP, and activate it.
 2. Review the terms and privacy policy. Settings > Formulix comes with the official
    API URL `https://api.formulix.com.br` filled in; no key is needed on the free plan.
 3. When the free plan runs out, the dialog shows a link to sign up at https://painel.
    formulix.com.br. Register your site domain there and choose a plan; the site keeps
    working without a key. An optional public key can be entered in Settings > Formulix.
 4. In the block editor, insert a Formulix block and choose Formula, Arithmetic, Graph
    or Chemistry. To change an item later, use “Edit Formulix item”.
 5. PNG uploads require the upload_files capability. To stop new API requests, clear
    the URL in the settings.

## FAQ

### Do I need to pay for the plugin?

No. The plugin is free. The remote processing depends on the API: Free allows 500
inserts per month, Starter 5,000, School 25,000 and Network has no monthly cap. 
On the free plan the limit also applies per domain. Starter costs R$49/month and
School R$189/month; 12 months cost 10 monthly fees. Payment happens on the Formulix
website through Mercado Pago. The plugin itself never processes payments or receives
billing data.

### What counts as an insert?

Each confirmed formula, arithmetic layout, graph or drawing counts as one insert.
Live previews while typing do not count.

### When does data leave my site?

Only while an editor uses the configured Formulix dialog. Previews may be generated
before clicking Insert. See External services. Viewing a post sends nothing to the
API.

### Do I need a key?

No. Without a key, usage is counted by your site domain. Once the domain is registered
in an account, it uses that account’s plan.

### Is the key secret?

No. The optional key is delivered to editors’ browsers and only works from the domains
registered in your account. Never put administrative tokens or passwords in that
field.

### What happens on deactivation or deletion?

Existing HTML and images are kept. Deactivating keeps the settings; deleting removes
the formulix_servidor and formulix_chave options. On multisite, cleanup applies 
to the site where the uninstaller runs.

### Does it paste equations from Word?

Not in this block yet. Word/MathType paste is available in the Formulix TinyMCE 
integration.
