Description

Description

I am looking for integration with WYSIWYG Latex editor like MathType. as of now I don't see any Lexical plugin integration available to edit the Latex format.

Similar to other editor like CkEditor, requirement is to able to edit the latex using mathType.

Impact

This is one of the key feature missing compare to other editors.
