Inserting equations

Equations can be added in two formats — as a block equation (centred on a new line) or as an inline equation (embedded within a paragraph). Regardless of the style you choose, you can create and edit equations in the same way.

To insert an equation

1. Click the Equation icon in the Formatting Toolbar.
2. Select Block or Inline equation.
   
3. Type in your equation using the on-screen keyboard or computer keyboard.
   
   
   
   
4. You can also input your equation using LaTeX, by toggling on Show LaTeX and typing in the LaTeX field.
   
   
   
   
5. When you’re finished, click the purple Insert button in the bottom-right corner of the on-screen keyboard.
6. If you need to edit the equation, simply click on it to bring up the on-screen keyboard again.

Adding references

It’s important to reference your equations where appropriate and adhere to academic integrity guidelines.

To add a reference to your block equation

1. Outside of the equations editor, click the Options ●●● in the top-right corner of the block equations.
   
   
   
   
2. Click Add reference.
3. Type your reference in the text field.
4. You can edit the reference in the same way.
