LaTeX and MathML aren't currently supported in the iWork apps on iCloud.com.

LaTeX commands

LaTeX generally requires equations to be enclosed in math mode commands such as the examples listed below. To make equation authoring easier, iWork and iBooks Author's equation editors are in math mode by default, so it isn't necessary to add math mode commands to your equations.

  • begin{math} … end{math}
  • begin{displaymath} … end{displaymath}
  • begin{equation} … end{equation}
  • $ … $
  • $$ … $$
  • ( … )
  • [ … ]

If you want to add text to an equation in iWork or iBooks Author that inherit the paragraph style, use text{…}. Nesting equations inside text{...} is not supported.

In math mode, blahtex doesn't fully support non-ASCII unicode characters, but it does accept the full unicode character set in text mode. For more information on specific characters, such as the copyright symbol and characters with accent marks, see the blahtex Manual, 2.22.

Supported LaTeX commands (extensions to blahtex) and MathML elements and attributes are listed below.

Sample equations

Basic math

Alignment

LaTeXRenders as


A nice trick for aligning equation elements is to use mbox{phantom{space}}. The contents inside the brackets (space) will account for the amount of white space created. In the example above, adding extra characters to =digit gives more white space in between the 10 • 9.


Color

Integrals

textstyle differentiates between inline and display equations.

Matrices

Common equation elements

Long form arithmetic

iWork and iBooks Author don't support LaTeX for long division and remainders. To work with long division and remainders, you must use MathML.
