Support for Atlassian Server Products is ending in February 2024. Consider migrating to LaTeX Math’s Data Center version.
Or are you planning to migrate to the Cloud? Make sure you do not lose your data/configurations in the process. Check out the Migration guide for information on how to migrate the app’s data to Cloud. Contact our support team if you have any questions.
Use LaTeX formatting on your Confluence pages with the LaTeX Math application. The LaTeX will instantly render as PNG images, which means they will be included in exported PDFs.
Confluence pages can now include equations, units, and more. Add LaTeX representations of complex formulas that will be rendered correctly on the fly.
To make editing pages easier, inline equations will be rendered in the placeholder in the Confluence editor. Inline equations will be vertically aligned with the surrounding text. Previews will also be automatically rendered while editing for instant feedback.
Note:
The Cloud version of this add-on does not include the non-math mode latex macro and is limited to PNG rendering mode.
This article provides you with the following information:
Features
Inline Block Equations
Inline equations are displayed in the surrounding text. Block equations will display prominently with optional (automatically incrementing) numbering.
References to numbered equations with links
You can easily refer to numbered equations on the same page or other pages by clicking on a link displaying the corresponding equation number.
Editing equations is easy
Inline equations are rendered right away in the editor and can easily be edited. Macros can be added using the Insert menu.
LaTeX Math Macros
The following are the available LaTeX Math Marcos. You can access all the macros by installing the LaTeX Math app.
Macro | Description |
---|---|
Math Inline | This macro implements the LaTeX inline math mode. You can use this macro to display formulas or symbols in line with the surrounding text. Example |
Math Block | This macro implements the LaTeX equation math mode. The output is displayed on a separate line with the selected horizontal alignment. (default = center). Example
|
Math Block Reference | This macro displays a link to the Math Block macro, which has the same anchor. Example |
Unit | This macro displays the unit using the LaTeX inline math mode. This is similar to Math Inline but has formatting options that are better suited for displaying units. Example |
LaTex List of Equations (Math Blocks) | This macro displays a link to an equation list from the same or a different page. The equations from the child page can also be included. Example
|
LaTeX SERVER ONLY | This is a general-purpose LaTeX renderer. Note: This requires the external renderer, and is therefore only available on Confluence Server. |
