The editor supports the ‘LatTeX’ format.

How to write expressions

Use the $<expression>$ format to add inline LaTeX expressions. For example: 2+2=42+2=4.

To create a separate block for your LaTeX equations, add the Block Equation widget. It is useful for larger, multi-line, and complex expressions. Another shortcut to create the widget is to type $$ $$ and then hit enter.

This is what it looks like:

Example

Let's try simple matrix addition.

Press + to interact
\begin{bmatrix}
1 & 2 & 3\\
4 & 5 & 6
\end{bmatrix} + \begin{bmatrix}
1 & 2 & 3\\
4 & 5 & 6
\end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix}
2 & 4 & 6\\
8 & 10 & 12
\end{bmatrix}

The above equation is rendered as below.
