About

Use LaTeX formatting on your Confluence pages easily. Your LaTeX can be rendered with MathJax or as images. Images can be rendered internally or by an external LaTeX installation (as per user demand). Add equations, units, and more. Intuitively, add LaTeX representations of complex formula to be rendered properly.

If you are new to using the LaTeX math mode, see How to write LaTeX.

Macros

LaTeX Math consists of five macros, most of which can be accessed through the Add menu. All macros can be accessed by typing {, or, using the macro browser.

Macro	Description

Macro	Description
Math Inline	This implements the LaTeX inline math mode for displaying formulas or symbols inline with the surrounding text (e.g. `\tau`).
Math Block	This implements the LaTeX equation math mode. The output is shown on its own line with the selected horizontal alignment (default = centered). The Math Block macro supports numbering. Numbering is enabled when a non-empty anchor is given.
Math Block Reference	This shows a link to the Math Block macro with the same anchor.
Unit	This shows units. This is similar to Math Inline, but with formatting settings that are more suitable for displaying units (e.g. `m/s^2`).
LaTex List of Equations (Math Blocks)	This shows a list of equations. This macro has options to include child pages and to show anchors.
LaTeX	Server only This is a general purpose LaTeX renderer. Note that this requires the external renderer, and is therefore, only available on Confluence Server.

Editor shortcuts Server only

Key shortcut	Purpose

Key shortcut	Purpose
`Ctrl-Enter`	When editing a Math Block or Math Inline macro, enter this to save the macro and close the macro editor.
`Ctrl-Shift-M`	Insert Math Inline macro.
`Ctrl-Shift-K`	Insert Math Inline macro (since 3.7.1).
`\(`	Add Math Inline macro.
`\[`	Add Math Block macro.
$ x $	Add Math Inline macro with "x" as body.
`$$ x $$`	Add Math Block macro with "x" as body.

Numbering

Math Block macros have an Anchor parameter that can be changed in the macro editor. When this parameter is filled, it enables numbering for that macro. If the same anchor is used in a Math Block Reference, it will render a link with the correct number. For example, here is a link to the macro below: (1)
