Writing Math Formulas (LaTeX) in Annotator

How to Add a Formula

To tell Annotator that you are writing a math formula, you just need to wrap your code in double dollar signs ($$).

  • The Rule: Put $$ at the very beginning and $$ at the very end of your math code.

  • Example: If you type $$\sum_{i=1}^{n} x_{i}$$, it will turn into a clean, mathematical summation symbol.

Using the Toolbar

If you don’t want to type the dollar signs yourself, you can use the built-in shortcut:

  1. Click the Math Icon: In the editor toolbar, look for the (Sigma) icon.

  2. Insert Your Code: Clicking this will automatically place the double dollar signs in your note for you. Just type your math symbols between them.

  3. Check Your Work: Click the Preview link at the bottom of the editor to see exactly how the formula will look before you save it.
