How to Use LaTeX for Formulas in Confluence

Confluence is an excellent tool for structuring and sharing knowledge. Many engineering, research, and data teams rely on it daily for documentation, specs, and collaboration. However, when documentation includes formulas or equations, teams often seek ways to make math clearer and easier to maintain.

LaTeX is a familiar and reliable standard for writing mathematical expressions. When it’s available directly in Confluence pages, formulas become part of the documentation itself — readable, editable, and consistent across the knowledge base.

Using LaTeX in Confluence can help teams:

  • Keep formulas editable instead of relying on screenshots

  • Maintain consistent notation across pages

  • Update equations quickly as documentation evolves

  • Improve readability in technical specs and research notes

  • Export pages to PDF without losing formula quality

We’ve put together a practical guide on using LaTeX in Confluence, showing how teams can maintain clean, up-to-date documentation with tools like our app, LaTeX Math for Confluence:

If your team works with equations, algorithms, or technical documentation, this approach can make everyday documentation much smoother.

Hi @Support team_Stiltsoft_ 

Thanks for your post, and...

What do you think of adding a link to the existing, how-to articles for LaTeX you have already posted in the community?  Or, adding a search expression / labels for the earlier articles.  That would help people better visualize the examples already posted.  Thanks!

Kind regards,
Bill
