LaTeX

Support for mathematical functions

Octarine supports LaTeX for mathematical notation and scientific formulas, rendering them beautifully inline with your text. Perfect for academic writing, technical documentation, and mathematical notes.

By default latex rendering is turned OFF since it's perf intensive. To turn on, head over to Settings -> Editor and toggle Render Math Equations on.

Inline Math

For math within a line of text:

  • Wrap formula in single dollar signs: $E = mc^2$ or $\\int_0^\\infty e^{-x^2} dx = \\frac{\\sqrt{\\pi}}{2}$

Common Symbols

  • Superscript: x^2 → x²
  • Subscript: x_1 → x₁
  • Fractions: \frac{a}{b} → a/b
  • Square root: \sqrt{x} → √x
  • Sum: \sum_{i=1}^n → Σ
  • Integral: \int_a^b → ∫

Greek Letters

  • \alpha, \beta, \gamma → α, β, γ
  • \Delta, \Omega → Δ, Ω
  • \pi, \theta, \phi → π, θ, φ

Mathematical Operations

  • \times → ×
  • \div → ÷
  • \pm → ±
  • \leq, \geq → ≤, ≥
  • \neq → ≠
  • \approx → ≈
