Equation Formatting

When equations are added from the Equation Editor in the Rich Content Editor, the editor supports inline block formatting delimiters to identify equations.

Inline Formatting

Placing an equation inside a ...... delimiter indicates the equation should be in an inline format. Generally, equations entered with text should be formatted inline.
Example: area=∫baf(x)dxarea = \int_{a}^b f(x)dx

Block Formatting

Placing an equation inside a ...... delimiter indicates the equation should be in a block format.
Example: y=mx+by = mx + b

Rich Content Editor

When saved, the Rich Content Editor displays the equations in the editor window as inline formatted text [1] or block formatted text [2].
