LaTeX math

Renders a block mathematical equation written in LaTeX, centred on its own line in the page.

When a page needs a real equation rather than a picture of one - a formula in a spec, a derivation in a research note, a bit of statistics in a report - this macro draws it from LaTeX, so the maths is sharp at any zoom and stays editable as text. You type the LaTeX in a plain text box, or switch to Live for a visual equation editor if you would rather not remember the syntax. If your site has Capable AI enabled, a Generate button lets you describe the equation in words and have the LaTeX written for you. Use it for standalone display equations; for a symbol inside a sentence, use LaTeX math inline instead.

#See it

Every example below is a real macro on this page, not a screenshot, and each one is a configuration taken from a page somebody actually built. Open this page in the editor to see how any of them is set up.

#Left, 21px

x2+y2=1y=1−x2\begin{align*} x^2 + y^2 &= 1 \\ y &= \sqrt{1 - x^2} \end{align*}x2+y2y​=1=1−x2​​

#Center, 21px

x2+y2=1y=1−x2\begin{align*} x^2 + y^2 &= 1 \\ y &= \sqrt{1 - x^2} \end{align*}x2+y2y​=1=1−x2​​

#Center, 21px (2)

C=A+BD=A⋅B\begin{align*} C &= A + B \\ D &= A \cdot B \end{align*}CD​=A+B=A⋅B​

#Settings

LaTeX macro with the Text editor open, showing align environment source and the two rendered equations in the preview
In Text mode you type LaTeX in the box on the right, and the preview on the left updates as you go.
LaTeX macro in Live mode with the on screen maths keyboard open, showing keys for powers, fractions, roots, integrals and sums
Switch to Live to build the equation visually. The keyboard icon in the field opens an on-screen maths keyboard.

Setting

Values

What it changes

Latex Equation

Any LaTeX. Type it in Text mode, a plain text box, or build it in Live mode, a visual equation editor. If part of the LaTeX has a mistake, it shows in red rather than the whole macro going blank. Dollar signs at the start and end are ignored, so you can paste $$x^2$$ straight in.

The equation itself. This is the only required field. Left empty, the macro shows the text "Invalid LaTeX equation".

Align

Left, Center, Right

Where the equation sits across the width of the macro.

Font Size

A size in pixels, from 8 to 96. A value outside that range is drawn at the nearest limit.

The base size of the equation. Superscripts and subscripts scale with it.

Equation colour

A text colour from your brand colours, a custom colour if your site allows custom colours, or none.

Colours the whole equation, including fraction bars and root signs. Left empty, the equation uses the page text colour for the current theme. Equations saved before this setting existed work the same way.
