|LaTeX Math for Confluence
Create mathematical equations that flow seamlessly within your text using the LaTeX Math Inline Macro.
The Inline Macro allows you to embed mathematical equations directly within paragraphs of text, appearing on the same line as surrounding content. Perfect for formulas, variables, and mathematical expressions that are part of a sentence.
Use inline macros when:
Don't use inline macros for:
/latex inline
The inline macro supports multiple LaTeX delimiters:
$E = mc^2$
\(E = mc^2\)
E = mc^2
The macro automatically treats content as inline math
LaTeX:
$x$
Result: Shows x as a mathematical variable within text
LaTeX:
The area is $A = \pi r^2$ where $r$ is the radius.
Result: The area is πr² where r is the radius.
LaTeX:
The golden ratio $\phi = \frac{1 + \sqrt{5}}{2}$ appears in nature.
Result: The golden ratio φ = (1+√5)/2 appears in nature.
LaTeX:
The angle $\theta$ and coefficient $\alpha$ are important parameters.
Result: The angle θ and coefficient α are important parameters.
LaTeX:
The sum $\sum_{i=1}^{n} i$ equals $\frac{n(n+1)}{2}$.
Result: The sum Σᵢ₌₁ⁿ i equals n(n+1)/2.

Inline equations automatically align with surrounding text baseline:
Inline equations match the surrounding text size:
Einstein's mass-energy equivalence $E = mc^2$ revolutionized physics.
A prime number $p$ is divisible only by $1$ and $p$.
The standard deviation $\sigma$ measures data spread.
Time complexity is $O(n \log n)$ for merge sort.
Ohm's law states that $V = IR$ where $V$ is voltage.
