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 renders LaTeX with KaTeX so the maths is sharp at any zoom and stays editable as text. You write the source in a plain textarea, or switch to the Live tab for a visual equation editor if you do not want to 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*}

#Center, 21px

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

#Center, 21px (2)

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

Setting	Values	What it changes
Latex Equation	Any LaTeX. Two editing modes in the panel: Text (plain textarea, 5 rows) and Live (a visual equation editor loaded on demand). Rendered with `throwOnError: false`, so a broken expression paints in red (#cc0000) rather than blanking the macro. Leading and trailing `$` delimiters are stripped before rendering, so pasting `$$x^2$$` works.	The equation itself. Empty renders the text "Invalid LaTeX equation". This is the only required field.
Align	left, center, right	Horizontal placement of the equation within the macro's width. Anything other than 'center' or 'right' is treated as left at render.
Font Size	Number of pixels. The input offers 8–96 in steps of 1; the renderer independently clamps to 8–96, and coerces a string value with parseInt (falling back to 24 if that throws).	Base size the equation is drawn at; KaTeX scales sub/superscripts from it.
Equation colour	A brand-scheme colour from the "text" category, a custom colour if the tenant allows custom colours, or cleared (empty).	Tints the whole equation, because KaTeX draws its glyphs and rules with currentColor. Left empty, the equation follows the page/theme text colour, which is what every macro saved before this field existed does. KaTeX's own error n
