Enter LaTeX equation in the rich text editor.
In a tool that supports LaTeX (e.g., Conversations), insert "$$" before and after a mathematical equation to set it apart from the rest of the text. Math equations are editable in the edit screen of the tool, but will display as an equation in preview and student view.
Equation displays with LaTeX.
After saving/posting the content, the equation will display with LaTeX-enabled formatting.
