## Insert LaTeX formatting
|
|
|
|
Zulip's compose box has a smart **LaTeX** (<i class="zulip-icon
|
|
zulip-icon-math"></i>) button, which inserts contextually appropriate LaTeX
|
|
formatting:
|
|
|
|
- If no text is selected, the button inserts displayed LaTeX (````math`) formatting.
|
|
- If selected text is on one line, the button inserts inline LaTeX (`$$`)
|
|
formatting.
|
|
- If selected text is on multiple lines, the button inserts displayed LaTeX
|
|
(````math`) formatting.

1. _(optional)_ Select the text you want to format.
|
|
|
|
1. Click the **LaTeX** (<i class="zulip-icon zulip-icon-math"></i>) icon at the
|
|
bottom of the compose box to insert LaTeX formatting.

You can also use the **LaTeX** (<i class="zulip-icon zulip-icon-math"></i>)
|
|
icon to remove existing LaTeX formatting from the selected text.

|
|
|
|
1. To use inline LaTeX, use double dollar signs (`$$`) around the text:
|
|
~~~
|
|
$$O(n^2)$$
|
|
~~~
|
|
To use displayed LaTeX, use triple backticks and the word math
|
|
(````math`) followed by some text and triple backticks at the end:
|
|
~~~
|
|
``` math
|
|
\int_a^b f(t)\, dt = F(b) - F(a)
|
|
```
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
