Can I use TeX (LaTex) with AlgoApp?

Use a TeX field

Current decks support a TeX field without requiring a custom HTML layout.

  1. Create a deck and choose "Browse all" in the deck-type picker.
  2. Select "Equation (TeX)" and create the deck.
  3. Add a card and enter a math expression in the TeX field, such as \frac{a}{b} or x^2.
  4. Check the preview and save.

For an existing deck you own, open "Edit Deck", add a TeX field, and select which sides should show it.

Legacy HTML layouts

An older layout can render a field as math with:

<div data-type="tex">{{back}}</div>

Replace back with the actual field name. TeX rendering supports mathematical notation; it is not a full LaTeX document compiler. See Layouts for more about templates.
