Will there be Paper and LaTeX integration?
Hi!
Shouldn't the opening of the Paper platform be the right opportunity to build a LaTeX collaboration system through Dropbox?
Best,

Hey Matteo
We’re excited to let you know that we’ve rolled out in-line LaTeX support in Paper. To start editing in LaTeX, simply type “$$" to enter LaTeX editing mode, and use the arrow keys to navigate out of the editing mode or press “enter” or “return” to escape it.
Try it out and let me know if you have some feedback!

How about display math? Single $ for inline and double $$ for display (e.g. configurable in KaTeX).
How about MathML rendering for supporting browsers? (e.g. TeXZilla)

I can not get in to the latex mode. When I type $$ nothing happens.
There is obviously something I misunderstood.- Sanchez8 years ago

Hi emir,When you type $$, you should see two sets of these symbols ($$ | $$), with your cursor in the middle. Type the code you want, and then hit the Enter key to render the code. You will need to do this each time you wish to enter LaTeX formatting into your document.If you still experience the issue, try a different web browser to see if it is resolved.Thanks- emir8 years agoNew member | Level 2
Thanks it works on my Mac on both Safari and Chrome, but not on my Windows machine.

The current system is very limited.
What we need is $...$ for In Line Math and $$...$$ for Display Mode Math.
Moreover, we would like to have suppport for all MathJaX features (Basically all amsmath features and enviornments).
Any chance to have that?
This is a must for students.
Thank You.

Hey Royi,I appreciate your feedback on this, and I’m sending it over to our Paper team. Can’t say if they will implement any of your suggestions in upcoming releases, but at least they’ll be aware of them.Thanks, and have a great weekend!- Royi8 years agoHelpful | Level 6
@Sanchez,
That would be great if you can forward this to the development team.
Students, Engineers, Programmers, Etc... will really appericiate this features.
They already made the hard work by incorporating MathJax, all needed is to match features of ther basic MarkDown editors.
For instace, have a look on ReText, StackEdit, HackMD, etc...
Even StackExchange editor in math oriented communities has this capability.Thank You.
