We have provided a simple way to view the Latex code which generates all the wonderful math equations that you see.
If you hover over an equation (place your mouse over it for a second), it appears in a box:

You can test this feature with the following line of LaTeX:
\[ e^{i \pi } + 1 = 0, \quad i \, \heartsuit \text{ Brilliant!} \]
Note: This does not apply to images of LaTeX that members uploaded to problems or solutions.
Update: The following functionality has been removed (explanation):
Additionally, if you click on the menu in the top right corner, and select "Toggle LaTeX", we will then display the latex code, instead of the actual equations. Selecting it again would display the equations.
This allows you to easily read see all of the latex on the page. Furthermore, you can select the text, copy, and paste it into your comment (and then edit it). This way, you can easily reference specific equations.
Refer to this video for an example.

"Toggle LaTeX" isn't an option anymore. Was this intentional?
Log in to reply
Hi @Blan Morrison – yes, it is intentional.
Log in to reply
I don’t mean to be intrusive, but would you mind explaining why that decision was made?
Log in to reply
Not intrusive at all. We removed it for three reasons:
Note that you can still see the LaTeX that was used to generate LaTeX on the screen by hovering over it.

What does this mean''hover over an equation''?
Log in to reply
Put your mouse cursor on the equation and you can see the \(\LaTeX\) form of the equation

What if a user is on the Brilliant app?
Log in to reply
No support in the Brilliant app yet, sorry :/ You can work around this issue by opening the page in the mobile browser and using the Toggle LaTeX menu from there.
Sorry!

Hope to see the feature added soon ,sir. @Silas Hundt

Yeah me too!

Very nice. This is a great addition and is one of the many reasons why I love Brilliant. Along with that, it feels good to connect with those who have very similar interests to yours, especially at young ages.

Thanks for the guide, Calvin Lin. With this guide, I can post my math problems and their solutions better.

Can you make some keyboard shortcut to toggle latex?
Log in to reply
Unfortunately no, not at this moment. We will keep that in mind if a lot of people start using "Toggle Latex", and want a shortcut.
Log in to reply
Thank you for the quick response.
Log in to reply
I can't find the "Toggle LaTeX" command anymore. Is it still available? It's a real help to learn LaTeX!
Log in to reply
Ok. Don't bother to answer. I just read the post by Blan Morrison and the replies. The toggle LaTeX command was really helpful to me. I am a bit disappointed at the decision to remove it, though I understand you have your reasons.
Log in to reply
Yay, finally a feature like this! This will definitely help a lot of LaTeX newbies out there :D
EDIT: things like these still don't work yet apparently: \[\left\{\begin{array}{l}\text{Equation 1}\\\text{Equation 2}\end{array}\right.\]
EDIT2: Hm, the "toggle latex" option doesn't work. It toggles everything on the main feed, but once you click on a problem, it just shows the regular latex.
Log in to reply
Regarding the first edit: it doesn't work on comments that you just typed in. Once you refresh the page, the latex will be displayed.
This is a screenshot of what I get on your comment:

Currently, you need to open the problem in it's own window for Toggle LaTeX to work (it doesn't work in modals).

Instead of using \( \backslash[ \quad \backslash] \), use \( \backslash( \quad \backslash) \) around your Latex code instead. The former forces the equation into a newline (as you realized), but the latter allows things to continue on in the paragraph.
I've edited your comment so you can take a look at it.

\( \LaTeX \) is a better command than \( LATEX \) or \( LaTeX \), if you ask me.
