Maths, tables and toggles

Formulas, tables and toggle lists each start from the / menu.

Formulas

Inside a sentence

/inline

A sentence with the formula x squared in it, and the box under it holding x^2

Press Enter, then type the formula in the box that opens under the line — x^2, say. It draws as you type. Press Enter again when you are done.

On its own line

Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + L A formula centred on its own line, with its box below

Press it on an empty line, or pick LaTeX formula from the / menu. Shift + Enter adds a line to the formula.

Tables

A table

/table

Click a cell and type. Enter keeps what you typed, Tab moves to the next cell, and Shift + Enter starts a new line inside a cell.

More rows and columns

+

A table with a + bar down its right edge

Point at the right edge or the bottom edge of the table and a + bar shows. Click it for one more, or drag it for several.

Move, remove or resize a column

Six dots above a column A table with the six dots showing above its first column

Drag the six dots to move the column. Click them, then press Backspace to remove it. Drag the line between two columns to change their width.

Toggle lists

A toggle

> then a space A toggle titled Key formulas, open, with two lines inside it

Type the title, press Enter, and write what goes inside. /toggle does the same.

Open and shut

Ctrl/Cmd + Enter

With the cursor on the title — or click the arrow. Everything inside hides and comes back, headings, tables and formulas included. Enter on an empty line inside steps you out below the toggle.

To change one later:

Click a formula to open its box again.
Click a table cell to edit it.
Backspace in an empty table row removes the row.
Backspace at the start of a toggle title turns it back into ordinary lines.
