Learning LaTeX and formatting

By using the built-in LaTeX editor, it is much easier to implement mathematical functions and utilize text style that wouldn’t be possible otherwise inside Knowt.
LaTeX has a lot of components, but here is a great tutorial video on how to write LaTeX code to create clean, organized math equations! After watching this tutorial, you will be familiar with the style of writing LaTeX code, which you can then input into Knowt using the $$ formatting mentioned in the steps above to easily make those equations.
