Design of a customizable component to display and edit formulas

This paper describes the design and implementation of Emath, a highly customizable component t.0 displ+and edit mathematical formulas. Ema th has been designed to be embedded in other applications and uses a Lisp dialect. as its cstension language in the same spirit as t.he Emacs t,est editor. ‘To ensure responsivcncss, the cdit.or is multi-t.hrcadcd and normally runs AS il SepXilte process.
