A formula editor is a name for a computer program that is used to typeset mathematical works or formulae.
Formula editors typical serve two purposes:
Content for formula editors can be provided manually using a markup language,eg TeX or MathML, via a point-and-click GUI, or as computer generated results from symbolic computations such as Mathematica.
Some systems are capable of re-formatting formulae into simpler forms or to adjust line-breaking automatically, while preserving the mathematical meaning of a formula.
