Usage (without browser extension)

Notice

It is recommended to use this Jira app with browser extension, since the combination provides the flexibility to write LaTeX in everwhere: Summary, Description, Comment, custom fields, etc. Please see the instructions here https://fulstech.gitbook.io/docs/latex-for-jira/jira-cloud/usage-with-browser-extension.
