LaTeX Math

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.

Description

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.
