LaTeX Block Equations (Display Math)
LaTeX Block renders display math (centered equations).
Best for
- Complex formulas
- Multi-line aligned equations
- Matrices and cases
- Technical specs and analytics docs
Key input rule
Enter raw LaTeX only.
LaTeX Block Editor Guide
Editor layout
- Source (left): raw LaTeX
- Preview (right): rendered display equation
What to type (examples)
Good:
\\frac{a}{b}\\int_0^1 x\\,dx\\begin{aligned} ... \\end{aligned}
Saving
Click Save/Publish to render on the page.
Quick checklist for successful rendering
- Check braces
{}are balanced - Ensure every
\\begin{...}has a matching\\end{...} - Test simple → then add complexity
Formatting & Best Practices
Prefer aligned for multi-step math
\begin{aligned}
f(x) &= x^2 + 3x + 2 \\
f'(x) &= 2x + 3
\end{aligned}
Use spacing for readability
\int_0^1 x \, dx
Label expressions using \text{...}
\begin{aligned}
\text{Precision} &= \frac{TP}{TP+FP} \\
\text{Recall} &= \frac{TP}{TP+FN}
\end{aligned}
Keep long derivations readable
- Split across multiple lines
- Use multiple macros if the derivation becomes too dense
- Add a short caption above the macro explaining what the equation represents
