Block and Inline Math Widgets

Good for: showing formulas, equations, or math notation directly in your Lazuli course.

Learner experience: learners see clean, formatted math expressions in context, whether inline or in a dedicated block.

You design: choose between inline or block math widgets, type or edit LaTeX notation, and preview how it displays in your activity.

Here is a link to a database of LaTeX notation.
