Re: Paper + LaTeX

Will there be Paper and LaTeX integration?

Hi!

Shouldn't the opening of the Paper platform be the right opportunity to build a LaTeX collaboration system through Dropbox?

Best,

M

I still couldn't figure out how to enable Latex feature. $$ does not seem to work for me.

How about display math? Single $ for inline and double $$ for display (e.g. configurable in KaTeX).

How about MathML rendering for supporting browsers? (e.g. TeXZilla)

Hi,
I can not get in to the latex mode. When I type $$ nothing happens.
There is obviously something I misunderstood.

Hi emir, 
 
When you type $$, you should see two sets of these symbols ($$ | $$), with your cursor in the middle. Type the code you want, and then hit the Enter key to render the code. You will need to do this each time you wish to enter LaTeX formatting into your document.
 
If you still experience the issue, try a different web browser to see if it is resolved. 
 
Thanks

Hi emir, 
 
Which browser are you using on your Windows machine? Maybe it needs to be updated? 
 
You may want to take a look at any addons or plugins in the browser that may be interfering. 
 
Let me know when you get a chance.
Thanks

Let's hope they start with separating $ Inline LaTeX Code $ from $$ Paragraph LaTeX Code $$.
It's something we have in any decent MarkDown Editor.

 

Thank You.

The current system is very limited.

 

 

What we need is  $...$ for In Line Math and $$...$$ for Display Mode Math.

Moreover, we would like to have suppport for all MathJaX features (Basically all amsmath features and enviornments).

 

Any chance to have that?

This is a must for students.

 

Thank You.

Hey @Royi

I appreciate your feedback on this, and I’m sending it over to our Paper team. Can’t say if they will implement any of your suggestions in upcoming releases, but at least they’ll be aware of them. 

Thanks, and have a great weekend!

@Sanchez,

 

That would be great if you can forward this to the development team.

Students, Engineers, Programmers, Etc... will really appericiate this features.

 

They already made the hard work by incorporating MathJax, all needed is to match features of ther basic MarkDown editors.

For instace, have a look on ReText, StackEdit, HackMD, etc...
Even StackExchange editor in math oriented communities has this capability.

 

Thank You.
