This add-on allows you to enter TeX and LaTeX in the Internal and Shared Notes fields for a lesson to display math equations.
Enabling the Add-on
Click on "Account & Settings" and then click on "Integrations & Add-ons".
Use the "Search" field on the right and enter "Latex".
Click on the "Enable" link.
Usage
When the add-on has been enabled, a "LaTeX to Math" link will appear below the "Internal Notes" and "Shared Notes" fields. Clicking this link allows you to view the contents with any TeX or LaTeX text converted to equations.
Block Display - Wrap the LaTeX in $$ delimiters to display equations in a full width block
Inline Display - Wrap the LaTeX in \(...\) delimiters to display equations inline
For example, entering the following LaTeX entered in the internal or shared notes field:
When \(a \ne 0\), there are two solutions to\(ax^2 + bx + c = 0\) and they are
$$x = {-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} \over 2a}.$$
Is displayed as:
Viewing Equations
When viewing saved lesson notes that include TeX or LaTeX, such as in the lesson details modal or in the Lesson Summaries report, the TeX or LaTeX will be displayed as formatted equations.
Emailing Notes with LaTeX
If you email lesson notes that include LaTeX, it will appear as plain text in the email message, since the code that converts LaTeX markup will not be present in the client's email program.
You may want to suggest the client views the notes in their Teachworks account or install a browser or email add-on (like TeX for Gmail) that will render the LaTeX in equation format.
