Have you had a look at the koffice equation editor?

<br>
I would like to request your advice and help: Currently our math applications lacks a \
good (LaTeX based) WYSIWYG editor for math expressions, I think this feature is a \
must for our users, however the only good implementation I know is in LyX. Our goal \
is to have a library (C++/Qt based) that can provide us with that functionality, so \
many KDE-Edu (and even KDE) applications can use it.<br>


<br>
In order to do that, I would like to know:<br>
<br>
What chances we have to reuse your code?<br>
Which parts of LyX code are relevant for this feature?<br>
How hard do you think (in terms of knowledge, time) can be this? We are currently 2 \
developers for this task.<br> <br>
A quick view to the LyX code tells me that src/mathed and src/frontends/ is where we \
need to focus, but I&#39;m sure you can give us   more insights about how to achieve \
this goal, we are new with LyX code, so any advice will help us. Also, we are fine \
with LyX license, since KDE applications are free software too.<br>


<br>
Thanks,<br>
