The MathFlow Components (the MathFlow SDK) can replace the default MathML editor with a specialized MathML editor. You have to purchase a MathML component from Design Science and configure it in <oXygen/> with the following procedure:

  1. Install MathFlow Components (the MathFlow SDK).

  2. On Windows make sure there is a copy of the FLEXlm DLL, that is the file [MathFlow-install-folder]/resources/windows/lmgr10.dll, in a folder that is added to the PATH environment variable.

  3. Set the path to the MathFlow install folder in the Preferences.

  4. Set the path to the MathFlow license file in the Preferences.

The minimum font size for mathematical symbols and the MathFlow SDK configuration are set in the Preferences.

If a MathML file is included in the current project that is opened in the Project view it can be opened directly in the MathML editor with the action Open withMathFlow editor that is available on the contextual menu of the Project view.
