## About

Easily use LaTeX formatting on your Confluence pages. Your LaTeX is rendered with MathJax. Intuitively, add LaTeX representations of complex formula to render properly.

If you are new to using the LaTeX math mode, see [How to write LaTeX](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SUPPORT/pages/80875420).

## Macros

*LaTeX Math Lite* consists of three macros. All macros can be accessed by typing `/` or using the macro browser.

| **Macro** | **Description** |
| --- | --- |
| *Math Inline* | This implements the LaTeX inline math mode. For displaying formulas or symbols inline with the surrounding text (e.g. `\tau`). |
| *Math Block* | This implements the LaTeX equation math mode. The output is shown on its own line with the selected horizontal alignment (*default = centered*).<br>The *Math Block* macro supports numbering. Numbering is enabled when a non-empty anchor is given. |
| *Math Block Reference* | This macro shows a link to the *Math Block* macro with the same anchor. |

## Numbering

*Math Block* macros have an *Anchor* parameter that can be changed in the macro editor. When this parameter is filled, it enables numbering for that macro. If the same anchor is used in a *Math Block Reference *macro, it renders a link with the correct number. For example, here is a link to the macro below: > Macro (mathblock-ref)



> Macro (mathblock)
