This app renders LaTeX anywhere inside Jira– even in Issue Summary. The syntax is very simple.

To insert LaTeX content into Atlassian Wiki editors such as Description or Comment in inline mode:

Select the Text mode (you must make sure ithe editor is not in Visual mode.
Wrap the content inside the {latex-inline}...{latex-inline} macro.
You can go back to Visual mode to type other content after that.

{latex-inline}e = mc^2{latex-inline}

To insert LaTeX content into Atlassian Wiki editors such as Description or Comment in block mode:

Select the Text mode (you must make sure ithe editor is not in Visual mode.
Wrap the content inside the {latex-block}...{latex-block} macro.
You can go back to Visual mode to type other content after that.

{latex-block}e = mc^2{latex-block}

Sometimes the symbols in complex LaTeX content can be misinterpreted by Atlassian Wiki as formatting syntax. To type such complex LaTeX content:

You can go back to Visual mode to type other content after that.
Wrap the content inside the {noformat}//[...//]{noformat} macro.
Select the Text mode (you must make sure ithe editor is not in Visual mode.

{noformat}//[
\begin{align*}
a^2 + b^2 &= c^2, \\
e^{i\pi} + 1 &= 0, \\
\int_0^\infty e^{-x} \, dx &= 1.
\end{align*}
//]{noformat}

For plain-text fields like Summary, inline LaTeX must be wrapped inside //(...//) and LaTeX block must be wrapped inside //[...//].
