Creating an equation (formula)
The procedure in this topic assumes Skribenta is installed and configured for normal operation, and:
-
You have logged into Skribenta.
-
You are assigned to one of the following user roles: content provider, technical writer or administrator.
-
You have selected the workspace you want to work in.
-
A content file or a configuration file is created in the workspace.
-
You have browsed to and opened the file in the Workspace view or the Publications view.
You need to write an equation or formula in your content using mathematical operators that can not be created using normal text.
Skribenta supports mathematical formulas using TeX syntax. The formula element is used to implement a mathematical formula. The texcode attribute contains expressions in the TeX markup language.
The TeX language follows some simple rules:
-
reserved words are prefixed by \
-
grouping is obtained using { and }
-
superscript is prefixed by ^
-
subscript is prefixed by _
This instruction tells you how to create an equation (formula).
This is the content before creating an equation (formula):

Procedure
In the shown images, the XML tags are visible. To show XML tags, see Turning XML element tags on or off.
1. Make sure that the step(s) in section "Starting point" (see section "Background" above) are performed.
The TeX code tab opens.
A preview of the formula is displayed under the TeX code box.
A formula element containing the formula is created.
