Introduction
Latex is a widely used language for expressing mathematics in terms of text input. OMhelp will display math formulas expressed using the Latex math language. The Latex math language is defined in Section 3.3 of Lamport's book . These commands are documented in the latex command documentation sections of this web site.

MathML (xml)
If the -xml command line option is specified, the Latex commands are converted to MathML and the corresponding output files have the .xml extension. You can view the XML version of this section by selecting latex.xml . (If your browser does not display MathML, refer to the displaying MathML .)

MathJax (htm)
If the -xml option is not specified, the corresponding output files have the .htm extension. In this case, the latex command are displayed using MathJax . You can view the HTML version of this section by selecting latex.htm . This requires an internet connection in order to use the MathJax content delivery network.

Inline Formulas
The input

 
     The ratio $latex \frac{1}{2 \pi} $$ is very useful.

generates the output

The ratio @(@ \frac{1}{2 \pi} @)@ is very useful.

It is ok to have an empty inline formula and this is useful for defining Latex macros .

Displayed Formulas
The input

 
     The ratio $latex \[ \frac{1}{2 \pi} \] $$ is very useful.

generates the output

The ratio @[@ \frac{1}{2 \pi} @]@ is very useful.
