This is for authoring math expressions which compiles to MathML. MathML has the explicit design goal of being hard to write, and is much more meant to be a compiler target rather than for humans to write. This space is pretty dominated by LaTeX whom almost all professionals use, but is pretty verbose and not exactly easy to use for beginners (or even non-frequent users). Other than LaTeX we have Office Math, which is a GUI, and AsciiMath. This tool is a dialect of AsciiMath[1] and builds on top of that. If you know AsciiMath, you know this. There is also UnicodeMathML[2], but that has another goal than this or AsciiMath, where the focus is on readability of authored expressions, rather than writability here. 1: https://asciimath.org/ 2: https://github.com/doersino/UnicodeMathML
