Question

Is it possible to use latex using the dollar syntax here?
Let me try
1) Using the tex tag
$\latex \int_a^b f(x)\, dx$
2) Using the dollar syntax
$\latex \int_a^b f(x)\, dx$
3) Using the double dollar syntax
$\latex \int_a^b f(x)\, dx$
4) Using the display mode math
\[\latex \int_a^b f(x)\, dx\]
5) Using the slash parentheses syntax
\(\latex \int_a^b f(x)\, dx\)

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

No, the LaTeX that the app uses starts and ends with the [ tex ] and [/ tex ] tags (without the spaces). In (1), simply remove the \latex tag and the integral will appear in embedded form:

$\int_a^b f(x)\, dx$

This is meant to maintain the line spacing. If you want show the full size of the integral (or in display mode), add the \displaystyle tag after the [ tex ] like this

[ tex ]\displaystyle \int_a^b f(x)\, dx[/ tex ]

and the integral will look like this

$\displaystyle \int_a^b f(x)\, dx$

after removing the spaces in the [tex] tag. This works also for sums and product of a series and limits.
