Documentation

Description

LaTeX is a typesetting system commonly used for technical and scientific documents, especially in mathematics, computer science, engineering, and physics. It provides a comprehensive set of features for typesetting mathematical expressions, equations, and symbols.

This tool is only used for maths and mathematical equations

Potential use cases

Writing Mathematical Equations: LaTeX is widely used for writing mathematical equations, expressions, and formulas with precision and clarity.
Writing Mathematical Symbols: LaTeX provides a vast array of mathematical symbols and operators, making it suitable for writing complex mathematical expressions and symbols.
Producing High-Quality Output: LaTeX produces high-quality output with crisp and scalable mathematical symbols and equations, making it ideal for printing and publishing mathematical content.

Additional options

Name	Type	Function
Process escapes (use \$ to produce a literal dollar sign)	check	Renders $ sign (useful for finance calculation)
Process environments (process \begin{xxx}...\end{xxx} outside math mode)	check
Process references (process \ref{...} outside of math mode)	check	Enables referencing equations
Enable tags (equation numbering for easier referencing)	check	Displays numbers next to the equation
Chose side on which tags will be displayed	dropdown	Allows to choose to display tags either on the right or left side of the equation

Examples

The quadratic formula is given by:
\[
x = \frac{{-b \pm \sqrt{{b^2 - 4ac}}}}{{2a}}
\]

where $a$, $b$, and $c$ are coefficients of the quadratic equation $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$.a

The mass-energy equivalence is described by the famous equation

\begin{equation} \label{einstein-eq}
E=mc^2
\end{equation}

Equation $\ref{einstein-eq}$ discovered in 1905 by Albert Einstein. 
In natural units ($c$ = 1), the formula expresses the identity

\[E=m\]

Equation and simplified verion
\begin{equation} \label{full-eq} \tag{full equation}
x=2y2+z+3z+y
\end{equation}
Simplified
\begin{equation} \label{sim-eq} \tag{simplified equation}
x=5y+4z
\end{equation}
