Two common stalls: you can’t remember \frac, or the matrix columns won’t line up. The LaTeX editor doesn’t require a command cheat sheet first—build the structure, then glance at the source.
Three inputs you can mix
Toolbar / templates
Fractions, subscripts, roots, matrices by category. Fast for projecting and writing quiz items under time pressure.
Edit on the canvas
Click into numerators, exponents, parentheses. Layout mistakes show up early.
LaTeX bar
Paste existing code or tweak precisely; the preview updates with you.
Who this is for
Teachers prepping handouts, students finishing homework, anyone cleaning up notes—same loop: skeleton → details → copy LaTeX out.
When you need “change a parameter, watch the graph,” open visualization. Day-to-day writing stays in the editor.
