    Do you have the TeX filter or MathJax filter properly configured? See the documentation for the or the Mathematics Tools forum for help.

    I do not think that that TinyMCE or Atto are actually supported in the app. There is a mobile text editor but I do not think that it supports plugins. So Mathslate would not be feasible in the app.
    The Mobile app has not implemented MathJax support either so TeX produced by this plugin will not display unless the TeX notation filter is active. If you want to support mathematics on the App it is recommended to enable Tex notation filter in addition to MathJax.

    Documentation for the filter is here https://docs.moodle.org/en/TeX_notation_filter . IThe Mathematics tools forum usually provides support.

    Thank You .
    But is TeX essential for the mathJax to work? because my problem is that the equations are displayed very well on my post but no longer on the mobile?

    MathJax will not work on Moble app. This is a known issues MOBILE-1611. The best work around is to enable both Mathjax and Text notation filters.

    You should check to make sure the the Tex binaries are installed properly first. The TeX notation filter has some settings in the admin panel which shows the status of each binary (should show check marks). If not you will need to install a TeX distribution on the server. More information is available in the filter docs.

    I’m currently working with Moodle 4.5, which uses the modern version of TinyMCE, and I would like to know if the Mathslate plugin is compatible with this version of Moodle/TinyMCE.
    If it is not currently compatible, are there any plans or intentions to update Mathslate for the newer TinyMCE editor in Moodle 4.5 (or later)?
    Thank you very much for your time and for maintaining such a useful plugin.

    Unfortunately, it is not compatible with the new TinyMCE. There is also and Atto version, but Atto is also deprecated. The plugin is dependent on an old library (YUI) that is also being removed. It could be rewritten to work with new Tiny editor, but this would require a very substantial rewrite, and I do not know when I would have time to do that.
