Math equation encoding help needed — 217 CIE e-ILV formulas to transcribe (interactive editor with Plurimath preview) #6

Description

@ronaldtse

@manuelfuenmayor @anermina — Editors, do you have time to help encode the math formulas for the CIE e-ILV? There are 217 equations remaining that need to be transcribed from image form into AsciiMath notation.

There's an interactive editor with a live Plurimath MathML preview — you see the original equation GIF side-by-side with your typed AsciiMath and its rendered MathML, so you can verify correctness as you go.

Quick start

  1. Download the editor (zip, 644 KB):
    https://github.com/glossarist/cie-eilv/raw/main/docs/math-correction/math-editor.zip

  2. Unzip and open math-editor.html in any browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari). No internet connection needed after download — everything (GIFs, Plurimath engine, current progress) is embedded.

  3. (Optional) Load existing corrections: click Import JSON and select:
    https://github.com/glossarist/cie-eilv/raw/main/docs/math-correction/math-corrections.json

  4. Correct equations: for each row, look at the original GIF, type the AsciiMath expression, check the MathML preview matches, click Save.

  5. Export: when you're done (or partially done), click Export JSON and attach the file to a comment here.

What you'll see

Each entry shows:

  • Concept ID + location (e.g. 17-21-038 | definition or 17-21-026 | designation)
  • Original GIF — the equation as it appears on the CIE website
  • AsciiMath text box — type the expression here
  • Live MathML preview — rendered by Plurimath, updates as you type

Yellow-bordered entries are designation symbols (the concept's math symbol, e.g. Φ_e). Blue-bordered entries are equations (formulas in definitions/notes, e.g. Φ_e = dQ_e/dt).

Green border = already corrected. Use the filter bar to jump to specific concepts or show only unsaved entries.

AsciiMath cheat sheet

What How Example
Subscript x_0, Phi_e Phi_e → Φ_e
Superscript x^2, 10^-3 m^2 → m²
Greek letters lambda, Phi, nu, sigma, Delta lambda → λ
Fraction (a)/(b) (d Q_e)/(d t)
Integral int_0^oo f(x) dx int_0^oo Phi_(e,lambda)(lambda) V(lambda) d lambda
Derivative (dX)/(dlambda)
Multiplication dot cdot W cdot sr^(-1)
Infinity oo

How to save your work

  • Each Save click stores to the browser's localStorage — closing the tab won't lose progress.
  • Always click Export JSON before sending your work back.
  • If you return later, click Import JSON to reload your previous export.

Progress

  • 25 / 242 already done (embedded in the editor)
  • 217 remaining
  • No deadline — work in batches, export partial progress anytime.
