Create your first equation

This guide creates a display equation that readers can see on a Confluence page.

Before you start

Section titled “Before you start”
  • LaTeX for Confluence must be installed with an active Marketplace license or trial.
  • You need permission to edit and publish the target Confluence page.

Add the formula

Section titled “Add the formula”
  1. Open a Confluence page and select Edit.
  2. Type /LaTeX Math.
  3. Choose LaTeX Math — display.
  4. Enter E=mc^2 in LaTeX source, or type the same expression in Visual editor. The two surfaces stay synchronized.
  5. Confirm that the rendered formula looks correct.
  6. Select Save in the macro editor.
  7. Select Publish or Update in Confluence.

You have succeeded when the page shows the equation on its own line without an editor frame.

Choose a different placement

Section titled “Choose a different placement”

Use LaTeX Math — inline when a formula belongs within a sentence, for example: “Energy is described by E=mc^2.” Inline macros do not show alignment controls.
