Or view it full screen, free of distractions. Fractions, integrals, sums, matrices, cases and chemistry with \ce are typeset cleanly, even offline. BUILDING BLOCKS AT HAND • Above the keyboard: fraction, root, superscript and subscript, Greek letters, sums and integrals, relations, arrows, brackets, matrices and environments • Brackets close themselves • Return after \begin{…} adds the matching \end{…}, and lists continue with the next \item • Syntax highlighting for commands, math, environments and comments WHOLE DOCUMENTS, TOO Put formulas in text with $…$, or write a whole document with \section, lists, tables and numbered equations – the preview typesets it beautifully, with title and sections. Your own \newcommand macros work too. REAL .TEX FILES Your formulas are plain .tex files in the Files app under “On My iPhone › Texlet”.
