`latex`

LaTeX source of a symbolic expression.

Category: Code Generation

Syntax

s = latex(expr)

Returns the LaTeX markup that typesets expr.

Description

latex converts the expression structure into LaTeX commands such as \frac, \sqrt, \sin and {...}^{...}. The text can be pasted into a document, a web page with MathJax or a label with the 'Interpreter', 'latex' option. The output is a plain character vector, so it must be placed inside $...$ by the caller.

Input arguments

expr: Symbolic expression, equation or matrix.

Output arguments

s: Character vector with LaTeX code, without surrounding math delimiters.

Example

Expressions to LaTeX

syms x
latex(x^2/3)
latex(sin(x)^2)

Output

ans = '\frac{{x}^{2}}{3}'
ans = '{\sin\left(x\right)}^{2}'
