Markup
You can type the markup directly in the equation editor. For example, you can type “5 times 4" to obtain
. If you know the markup, this can be the fastest way to enter a formula.
 | As a mnemonic, the formula markup resembles the way the formula reads in English.

Below is a short list of common equations and their corresponding markup.
Display | Command | Display | Command
|
a=b | a = b | √a | sqrt {a}
|
a2 | a^2 | an | a_n
|
∫ f(x)dx | int f(x) dx | ∑ an | sum a_n
|
a≤b | a <= b | ∞ | infinity
|
a×b | a times b | x·y | x cdot y
