How to use latex macros properly

Question

Hi all,

I'm hoping someone can point out why the latex macro for inline equations is lifting the symbols above the regular text (see below)?

Or if there is a better way to do this without having to write the latex code elsewhere and publish the resulting pdf to confluence?

Note that I am trying to use the LaTeX macros that were already existing in my confluence space

If you're looking for an addon for adding LaTeX in a Confluence page, I would recommend our app, LaTeX EASY math equation for Confluence .

LaTeX EASY math equation for Confluence | Atlassian Marketplace

You can choose inline/ block mode when you add LaTeX. As well as, it provides real time preview and selectable formula entry UI so you can easily add and edit formulas.
Also you can try it free!

@Ciaran McDonnell If you open the Apps menu in your Confluence toolbar (above the page), you should see the 3rd-party apps installed in your Confluence instance.

Hi @Barbara Szczesniak,

Thank you for the welcome! I have added more detail on the macros I have been trying to use - they are either the standard LaTeX macros on confluence or someone in my organisation has previously added them.

I will keep looking using your advice in the meantime.

Thank you!
