$\LaTeX{}$ Plugin
LibreOffice has a formula editor to typeset math, but the $\LaTeX{}$ plugin is much more user friendly and powerful. The syntax is also ubiquitous and used on many other platforms. The downside is that a full install of $\LaTeX{}$ must also be installed on the computer.
- Install MacTex (about 6.0 GB)
- To update MacTex:
- go to
Aplications/TeX/and runTeX Live Utility - right click on one of the packages and select
Update All Packages
- Install the LibreOffice TeXmath extension, which allows LibreOffice to use the $\LaTeX{}$ engine installed above.
- In LibreOffice, click on the $\pi{}$ button at the top right corner of the toolbar and add these packages to the
Preamble, andSave Global:\usepackage{longdivision} \usepackage{cancel} \usepackage{fourier} \usepackage{ulem} \usepackage{xcolor} \usepackage{xlop} \usepackage{xfrac}
