Documentation – Excalidraw & LaTeX Math for Confluence

Step-by-step guide to creating Excalidraw whiteboards with embedded LaTeX math formulas in Confluence, from your first scene to page and space macros.

  • Install the plugin

  • In the dropdown menu “Apps,” click on the “Excalidraw LaTeX Math” tab

  • Click the “Create a new scene” button and create your first scene

    'Create a new scene' button to start a new Excalidraw math whiteboard
  • Add LaTeX Math code

LaTeX Math examples:

  • Binomial theorem

    (a+b)^n = \sum_{k=0}^{n} {n \choose k} a^{n-k}b^k
  • Derivative notation

    \frac{d}{dx} (x^2) = 2x
  • Piecewise function

    f(x) = \begin{cases} x^2 & x \geq 0 \ -x & x < 0 \end{cases}
  • Probability notation

    P(A \mid B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}
  • Vector notation

    \vec{v} = \begin{bmatrix} 2 \ 3 \ 5 \end{bmatrix}
  • Nested fractions

    \frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{x}}
  • Attach the created scene to a project space
