Why Confluence Cloud needs a LaTeX macro
Confluence Cloud has no built-in equation editor. Teams that write about statistics, engineering, finance or machine learning end up typing formulas as plain text or pasting screenshots, which lose precision and go stale the moment a formula changes.
LaTeX Math for Confluence adds inline and block LaTeX macros. Type /latex, write standard LaTeX, check the live preview, and the equation renders on the page with KaTeX. Autocomplete suggests commands as you type, and the formula library and your saved favorites mean you rarely start from a blank editor.
It runs on Atlassian Forge, so your equations stay in your own Confluence pages. Screen readers can read every formula, and equations come along when you export a page to PDF or Word.
