Question
Adding mathjax plugin to Rich Text Editor
Hello,
Is there a method or a tool OOTB to enable Mathjax plugin in the rich text editor ?
if no and the only way is following the instructions provided in the following article(https://community.pega.com/knowledgebase/articles/adding-plug-ins-rich-text-editor), what is the function from mathjax that should be called in the exec method.
Thanks in advance
Dany

In the given PSC documentation link, "MyCustomPlugin" is the name of the plugin. A plugin definition needs to be pushed into the map associated with the name of the plugin.
Plugin definition should contain a method called "init" which gets called on plugin initialization. Inside this method, we can add commands and buttons.
A "command" is a named operation to be performed. The editor instance is available as the parameter to the command's exec method. Any of the editor API (CKEditor 4 Documentation) and other arbitrary JS code can be executed from within the command's exec method.

A "button" is a toolbar component. Each button has to be associated with a command. On clicking the button the associated command's exec method gets called.
Please note that any extra JS files can be added or referenced on the harness containing the section which contains the RTE.
Refer the CKEditor 4 documentation Mathjax library link
will explain how to Create Mathematical Formulas.

Hello gutak,
Sorry for the late reply but i had to stop working on this issue for a while and now I'm back on it.
So for each plug-in that we need to add to RTE. we have 2 js files, plugin.js and pluginName.js (mathjax.js).
If we try to include these js files in the harness they generate multiple error and they wont work, and we can't add the functionality to the command since it's not a simple function, and it needs multiple functions and event actions.
Is there a way that we include the plug-in library directly in the directories and enable this plug-in, if not can you facilitate and give a more detailed instructions?
Is the mathjax library enabled in newer versions of pega (8.1, 8.2)?
Thanks in advance,
Dany

Facing the same problem over here, and I couldn't find a clear step by step support article that explains how to do it
Please let us know If you managed to do it or found a working Pega example.
Thanks

I didn't get a chance to implement it but shared my thoughts about your requirement.
From the forums and found that these new plugins should be pushed into the plugin map pega.u.d.customRTEPlugins
See if this helps.
