A formula editor is a computer program used to typeset mathematical formulas and mathematical expressions. There are many formula editors, plug-ins or software available online.
We focus here on the LaTeX formula editor, which is supported by Baijiahao text editor.
Latex is a tool for typesetting professional documents. However, LaTeX's mode of operation is very different from many other document-making applications you may have used, such as Office Word, where WYSIWYG tools provide users with an interactive page where they can type and edit text and apply various forms of styling.
LaTeX works very differently, a document is a plain text file interspersed with LaTex commands that are used to express the desired (typesetting) result. In order to produce a visible typesetting document, your Latex file is processed by a software called a Tex engine, which uses commands embedded in the text file to guide and control the typesetting process, converting the Latex commands and document text into professionally typeset PDF files.
For example, in the figure below, the user only needs to know what formula they need to use, find it, modify the content of the formula, and the computer will handle the visual appearance through the latex command and the tex engine.
For example, in the above figure, we get a sum symbol, such as the following figure, modify the above a, b, and then change it to frac, and we can type out such beautiful mathematical symbols or formulas.
LaTeX supports the formatting of extremely complex technical content in the mathematical, **, and physical sciences;Facilities to support footnote, cross-referencing and bibliography management;Easy to generate complex or tedious document elements, such as indexes, glossaries, table of contents, chart lists;Due to its intrinsic programmability and scalability through thousands of free add-on packages, custom document production can be highly customized.
There are many more similar editing tools.
