If you want to insert mathematical formulae into MLS - e.g. fractions, roots or equations - then you need TeX. But don't worry: this sounds more complicated than it is. MLS provides you with a TeX editor for this purpose. You can use it to easily insert and display formulas.
✍️ How it works in MLS
Open the TeX editor:
If you want to insert a mathematical formula in a learning content, click on the formula symbol (f (x)). This will open the TeX input editor.
Enter formula:
Enter your formula in TeX code. For example:
Fraction: \frac{a}{b}
Root: \sqrt{2}
Superscripts: x^2
Low numbers: H_2O
Equation: E = mc^2
Via the link f(x) KaTex Synthax you will find all possible input options. A new tab will open in your browser:
Paste:
Enter the text formula and confirm with the green tick ✔️
And it will be displayed in the content!
💡 Extra tip for you!
If you want to create formulas even more easily, use this free online tool:
There you can create your TeX code directly and then copy it into the text editor!
📚 Still some useful TeX examples:
