Description
I would love to have this in nextcloud whiteboard:
`ExcaliMath is an open-source companion plugin for Excalidraw that transforms it into a full-featured math whiteboard. It wraps — never forks — the @excalidraw/excalidraw React component, injecting three capability layers:
Equation Layer — LaTeX authoring via KaTeX with live preview and click-to-edit
Graph Layer — Function plotting via Plotly.js with multi-function support and templates
Shape Libraries — 80+ curriculum-aligned STEM shapes across 6 subject packs

Research direction
Start by reviewing the Nextcloud Whiteboard codebase and the linked ExcaliMath project to determine how the existing canvas integrates external capabilities. Done would mean agreeing on and implementing the requested equation, graph, and STEM shape layers in Whiteboard, with the integration scope and validation approach defined.
