Equations

Writing and editing mathematical formulas in LaTeX syntax.

Flints supports mathematical formulas written in LaTeX syntax, rendered with KaTeX.

Adding an equation#

Pick the equation block from the slash menu. The block opens and you can type LaTeX into it.

Examples#

LaTeX Result
x^2 + y^2 = z^2 Pythagorean theorem
\frac{a}{b} A fraction
\sqrt{x} A square root
\sum_{i=1}^{n} i A sum
\int_0^1 x\,dx An integral
\alpha, \beta, \gamma Greek letters

Editing#

Click an existing equation and the LaTeX source opens again. Change it, then click away or press Esc to close.

When something is wrong#

If the LaTeX has an error, the formula is shown in red. That means the syntax is invalid — check your braces and command names.
