LaTeX Math Lite
Overview
Confluence pages can include equations, units, and more. Use LaTeX formatting on your pages with the LaTeX Math Lite app to add representations of complex formulas that will be rendered on the fly as PNG images. To make editing pages easier, inline equations are rendered in the placeholder in the Confluence editor.
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: Refer to numbered equations on the same page or other pages with a link displaying the corresponding equation number.
Editing equations is easy: Equations are rendered client-side using MathJax.
LaTeX Math Macros
The following are the available LaTeX Math Marcos. You can access all the macros by installing the LaTeX Math Lite app.
Macro | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
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. |  |
Math Block | This macro implements the LaTeX equation math mode. The output is displayed on a separate line with the left horizontal alignment. The Math Block macro supports numbering. Numbering is enabled by when a non-empty anchor is given. | |
Math Block Reference | This macro displays a link to the Math Block macro, which has the same anchor. | |
