If you’ve got a mathematical equation to write out in LaTeX, but it’s a bit of a bother to type out, you can write it instead and magically get the LaTeX code. All you have to do is go to Web Equation, and write your equation in the box.

You can check it’s understanding what you write at the bottom of the screen using the wonders of MathJax, and you can choose from LaTeX or MathML code.

It’s really pretty clever!
