Gamma supports mathematical equations and formatting through KaTeX, a fast and accessible math typesetting library. This allows you to create professional-looking mathematical content directly in your presentations and documents.
What is KaTeX?
KaTeX is a JavaScript library that renders mathematical expressions in web browsers. It's designed to be fast, easy to use, and produces high-quality typesetting similar to LaTeX.
How to add math to Gamma
Use dollar signs ($) to enclose inline math expressions and double dollar signs ($$) for block-level equations.
For inline equations:
$E = mc^2$For block equations:
$$\frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n} x_i$$
Simply type your LaTeX expressions between the dollar signs. Gamma will automatically render them as proper mathematical notation.
You can also type /math or drag a math block in from the insert bar.

Troubleshooting
If your equation isn't rendering properly:
Check for missing or mismatched dollar signs
Verify your LaTeX syntax is correct
Ensure all brackets and parentheses are properly closed
