Text · LaTeX macro
Formulas anyone can correct, sharp at any zoom
With the LaTeX macro your maths stops being a blurry, unsearchable image rendered somewhere else. The formula is typeset on the page from its source, sharp at any zoom - and whoever spots the error fixes it by changing a character.
You fix the formula, not the picture
A wrong exponent in an image means finding the tool it was made in, re-rendering and re-uploading. Here it means changing a character. Your specifications keep their maths correct because correcting it is no longer a chore anyone puts off.
Your document refers back to its equations like a paper does
Turn on equation numbering, choose whether the tags sit left or right, and your document says "as shown in (3)" the way a paper does. References can be processed outside maths mode too, so your prose and your equations stay properly wired to each other.
Your costing model carries prices and formulas at once
Dollar signs are LaTeX's maths delimiters, which is why a financial document full of
them usually turns to nonsense. Switch on escape processing and \$
stays a literal dollar, so a document about money behaves like any other.
Your maths sits inside the document you are writing
Write it in the macro, or point it at a .tex file - URL, attachment,
Git repository, Google Drive, or a credentialed S3, SFTP or database connection. The
macro also comes in an inline variant, so a short formula sits inside a sentence,
and a fenced math or latex block inside the Markdown macro
typesets in place, so a derivation sits between the paragraphs that explain it.
What the other LaTeX apps leave you re-typing
The LaTeX apps for Confluence all work the same way: you type the formula into the
macro, on that page. For a formula in a paragraph that is exactly right - and this
macro does it too. What none of them does is read the .tex your paper,
model or specification is actually kept in, from a URL, Google Drive, an S3 bucket
or an SFTP server, so the derivation on your page is the one that was reviewed
rather than a re-typed copy. And because the same engine sits behind the Markdown
macro, the maths in a README renders here as well, in the document it belongs to.
