Last modified by Moritz Baumgarten on 15.01.2024

The Tools area allows you to insert formulas in your texts with a LaTeX editor.

Insert formula

1	Open the Tools tab in the text editor. Select Formula editor (LaTeX).
2	Now enter the formula in LaTeX notation in the upper window. Below the input field, you will see a preview of the entered formula.
3	Decide how your formula should be displayed in the editor. You can choose to insert a placeholder graphic for your formula or add the formula directly in LaTeX notation. If you insert a placeholder, the icon will be displayed in the editor. If you choose to add your formula directly, it will be displayed in LaTeX notation (example: \(\sqrt[3]{x-1}\)).
4	Close the dialogue with Finish.
5	The formula is now displayed in the editor as a placeholder or in LaTeX notation, depending on your selected option. Close the text editor with one of the two save options.
