# LaTeX Markdown Online - Math Editor with Live Preview ✨

Write Markdown on the left and see the rendered result on the right, instantly. This **markdown live preview** editor renders LaTeX math with KaTeX, GitHub Flavored Markdown (tables, task lists, code), and Mermaid diagrams — free, in your browser, no sign-up. Your document is saved automatically on this device.

## Quick LaTeX Examples

### Basic LaTeX in Markdown

**Inline math**: Einstein's famous equation $E = mc^2$ demonstrates mass-energy equivalence.

**Display math** - Newton's second law:

$$
F = ma
$$

### Common Use Cases

#### 1. Calculus & Derivatives
$$
\frac{d}{dx}(x^2) = 2x \quad \text{and} \quad \int x^2 dx = \frac{x^3}{3} + C
$$

#### 2. Fractions
$$
\frac{a}{b} + \frac{c}{d} = \frac{ad + bc}{bd}
$$

#### 3. Square Root in Markdown
$$
\sqrt{16} = 4 \quad \text{and} \quad \sqrt[3]{27} = 3
$$

#### 4. Greek Letters in Markdown
$$
\alpha + \beta = \gamma \quad \theta = 45° \quad \pi \approx 3.14159
$$

Common Greek letters: $\alpha$, $\beta$, $\gamma$, $\delta$, $\epsilon$, $\theta$, $\lambda$, $\mu$, $\pi$, $\sigma$, $\omega$

#### 5. Summation & Products
$$
\sum_{i=1}^{n} i = \frac{n(n+1)}{2} \quad \prod_{i=1}^{n} i = n!
$$

#### 6. Matrices
$$
\begin{pmatrix}
a & b \\
c & d
\end{pmatrix}
\begin{pmatrix}
x \\
y
\end{pmatrix} =
\begin{pmatrix}
ax + by \\
cx + dy
\end{pmatrix}
$$

#### 7. Limits
$$
\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin x}{x} = 1
$$

#### 8. Definite Integrals
$$
\int_0^{\pi} \sin x \, dx = 2
$$

#### 9. Mean and Variance
$$
\mu = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n x_i \quad \sigma^2 = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i - \mu)^2
$$

#### 10. The Quadratic Formula
$$
x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}
$$

## Advanced Math

### Aligned Equations
$$
\begin{align*}
(x+y)^2 &= x^2 + 2xy + y^2 \\
(x-y)^2 &= x^2 - 2xy + y^2 \\
(x+y)(x-y) &= x^2 - y^2
\end{align*}
$$

### Piecewise Functions
$$
f(x) = \begin{cases}
x^2 & \text{if } x \geq 0 \\
-x^2 & \text{if } x < 0
\end{cases}
$$

### Systems of Equations
$$
\begin{cases}
x + 2y = 5 \\
3x - y = 4
\end{cases}
$$

### Trigonometric Identities
$$
\sin^2\theta + \cos^2\theta = 1 \quad \tan\theta = \frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}
$$

## Code and Math Together

Combine code and equations in technical documentation. When your document is ready, [export it as a PDF](/tools/markdown-to-pdf) or [convert to Word](/tools/markdown-to-word) — LaTeX equations are fully preserved in both formats.

```python
def quadratic_formula(a, b, c):
    """
    Solve: ax² + bx + c = 0
    Formula: x = (-b ± √(b²-4ac)) / 2a
    """
    discriminant = b**2 - 4*a*c
    x1 = (-b + discriminant**0.5) / (2*a)
    x2 = (-b - discriminant**0.5) / (2*a)
    return x1, x2

# Example: x² - 5x + 6 = 0
print(quadratic_formula(1, -5, 6))  # Output: (3.0, 2.0)
```

Algorithm complexity with LaTeX:

| Algorithm | Time Complexity | Space | Formula |
|-----------|----------------|-------|---------|
| Binary Search | $O(\log n)$ | $O(1)$ | $\log_2 n$ |
| Quick Sort | $O(n \log n)$ | $O(\log n)$ | $n \log_2 n$ |
| Bubble Sort | $O(n^2)$ | $O(1)$ | $\frac{n(n-1)}{2}$ |

## Physics Examples

### Classical Mechanics
$$
F = ma \quad E_k = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 \quad p = mv
$$

### Electromagnetism
$$
F = qE \quad F = q\mathbf{v} \times \mathbf{B} \quad E = mc^2
$$

### Wave Equation
$$
v = f\lambda \quad \text{where } v \text{ is velocity, } f \text{ is frequency}
$$

## How to Use LaTeX in Markdown

Need a single formula for slides or Word? Build it in the [online LaTeX equation editor](/tools/latex-equation-editor) and export it as PNG or MathML. Moving a document to Overleaf? Use the [Markdown to LaTeX converter](/tools/markdown-to-latex).

### Inline Math
Use single dollar signs: `$E = mc^2$` renders as $E = mc^2$

### Display Math
Use double dollar signs:
```
$$
x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}
$$
```

### Special Characters
- Fractions: `\frac{a}{b}` → $\frac{a}{b}$
- Square root: `\sqrt{x}` → $\sqrt{x}$
- Exponents: `x^2` → $x^2$
- Subscripts: `x_i` → $x_i$
- Sum: `\sum_{i=1}^n` → $\sum_{i=1}^n$
- Integral: `\int_a^b` → $\int_a^b$

## GitHub Flavored Markdown

Everything you use in a README works here too.

| Syntax | Example | Result |
|--------|---------|--------|
| Bold | `**text**` | **text** |
| Italic | `*text*` | *text* |
| Strikethrough | `~~text~~` | ~~text~~ |
| Inline code | `` `code` `` | `code` |
| Link | `[MarkMath](/)` | [MarkMath](/) |

### Task List
- [x] Write notes in Markdown
- [x] Add equations like $a^2 + b^2 = c^2$
- [ ] Export to PDF or Word

> Blockquotes, nested lists, footnotes-style notes, emoji :sparkles: and raw HTML are supported as well.

## Tips for Writing Math in Markdown

> **💡 Tip**: Type LaTeX exactly as you would in a `.tex` file — `\frac{a}{b}`, `\alpha`, `\sum`. No extra escaping is needed in Markdown.

> **⚠️ Common Issues**:
> - Missing closing braces: `{...}`
> - Unescaped special chars: `$`, `%`, `&`
> - Nested fractions need extra braces

## Real-World Examples

### Computer Science: Recurrences
$$
T(n) = \begin{cases}
1 & \text{if } n = 1 \\
2T(\frac{n}{2}) + n & \text{if } n > 1
\end{cases}
$$

Solving: $T(n) = O(n \log n)$

### Finance: Compound Interest
$$
FV = PV \times (1 + r)^n \quad CI = P \left(1 + \frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt} - P
$$

### Probability
$$
P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B)
$$

$$
E(X) = \sum_{i=1}^n x_i \cdot P(x_i)
$$

## Frequently Asked Questions

### How to write math in markdown using LaTeX?

Use single dollar signs for inline math and double dollar signs for display equations, for example $E = mc^2$ inline. The editor renders LaTeX with KaTeX in the live preview as you type.

### How do I add Greek letters in markdown?

Use LaTeX commands inside math delimiters: $\alpha$, $\beta$, $\gamma$, $\delta$, $\pi$, $\sigma$. For example $\alpha + \beta = \gamma$.

### How do I create square root in markdown?

Use the \sqrt{} command: $\sqrt{16} = 4$ for a square root and $\sqrt[3]{27} = 3$ for a cube root.

### Can I create mermaid diagrams online in this editor?

Yes. Put the diagram in a code block with the language mermaid to draw flowcharts, sequence diagrams, class diagrams, Gantt charts and more. The preview renders them instantly.

### Is this markdown latex editor free to use?

Yes, it is completely free with no registration. Your document is saved automatically in your browser and is never uploaded.

### How to create markdown tables with math equations?

Write a normal GitHub-flavored markdown table and put LaTeX inside the cells, for example a cell containing $\pi r^2$. Math renders inside tables just like in paragraphs.

### What LaTeX commands are supported in the online editor?

The editor uses KaTeX, which supports the common LaTeX math commands: fractions, roots, exponents, subscripts, sums, integrals, limits, matrices, cases, aligned equations, accents and Greek letters.

### Can I export markdown with equations to PDF or Word?

Yes. The free Markdown to PDF tool keeps equations, code highlighting and diagrams, and the Markdown to Word tool turns LaTeX into native, editable Word equations.

### How do I add line breaks in LaTeX equations?

Use a double backslash to break lines inside an environment such as aligned or cases, and & to align columns, for example $\begin{aligned} a &= b \\ c &= d \end{aligned}$.

### Does the online markdown editor work on mobile devices?

Yes. The editor and preview are responsive and work in mobile browsers on phones and tablets.
