The LibreOffice Suite provides LibreOffice Math, a decent free equation editor:
It supports MathML 2.0, as well as other math formats. It's available for Windows, Linux, and MacOS. It can be called to edit an equation file from the command line:
It would be great if Oxygen could be configured to use an external user-specified equation editor. I've asked about this in the past, and Radu all but wrote the plugin for me:

but I simply lack the Java knowledge to do this. I am posting the request here so that others can voice their support for it.

OpenOffice has a similar equation editor (OpenOffice Math), but it currently supports only MathML 1.0.

Hi Chris,

Hi Chris,

In the new Oxygen 22.1, we added support for editing MathML equations using an external tool:
