# Usage (with browser extension)

If your companies are using Chrome and Edge (Chromium) to access Jira Cloud, you can make use of our **LaTeX for Jira** Chrome extension to write and view LaTeX content inside Issue Summary, Description, and Comments.

> **The** [**Jira app**](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1223629/latex-beautiful-math-for-jira-cloud?hosting=cloud\&tab=installation) **is still required to be in trial or subscribed mode, as the browser extension will verify the license of the Jira app.**

## Install the browser extension

This section will be updated after the browser extension is approved.

## Atlassian Wiki fields

Since Atlassian Wiki fields automatically convert some content to formatted blocks, such as `**bold**` becomes **bold**, the practice to insert LaTeX content is as below.

### Inline LaTeX content

Type the backtick.
