LaTeX\LaTeX User Guide

We welcome LaTeX\LaTeX experts to use our software!

We provide the ability to export LaTeX\LaTeX source code and to import LaTeX\LaTeX code blocks; see Magic Paste for details.

LaTeX export

So why not just use LaTeX\LaTeX? The answer is that using Liii STEM can greatly speed up your LaTeX\LaTeX writing! In this guide, we will explain how Liii STEM achieves this.

Liii STEM provides a WYSIWYG editing interface, along with intuitive keyboard shortcuts, Magic Paste, and formula conversion features. Let's take a quick look.

Magic Paste

If you have never used Mogan or TeXmacs before, the easiest feature to get started with and immediately speed up your writing is Magic Paste. You only need to use Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V (or Cmd+C and Cmd+V on Mac).

Through Magic Paste, users can directly paste content from Large Language Models (LLMs) or LaTeX\LaTeX source code into Liii STEM. For example, Liii STEM supports copying and pasting content from LLMs while maintaining the formatting of formulas and tables. The following example shows the effect of Magic Paste from GPT-4:

Magic Paste from LLMs

Currently, Magic Paste supports DeepSeek, ChatGPT, Zhihu, and Doubao. We also support VLM, allowing you to even paste your handwritten content into Liii STEM!

For more details on Magic Paste, see Magic Paste.

Automatic Typesetting with Large Models!

In addition to pasting content from external large models, Liii STEM can also use large models for automatic typesetting within the software. We even support interacting with large models directly using our rendered text, including mathematics and code. Even more magically, the output of the large models is also rendered in Liii STEM format!

Built-in Environments

In LaTeX\LaTeX, creating a theorem environment requires defining it in the preamble:

LaTeX
\documentclass{article}
\newtheorem{theorem}{Theorem}
\begin{document}

    \begin{theorem}
    Theorem here!
    \end{theorem}

\end{document}

However, in Liii STEM, most LaTeX\LaTeX environments are built-in. Users can directly insert the required environment through the provided graphical user interface.

Built-in Environments

Liii STEM supports various types of environments including:

Furthermore, for environments that are difficult to edit in LaTeX\LaTeX, Liii STEM provides an extremely user-friendly GUI. For example, aligning multi-line equations. Inputting in LaTeX\LaTeX:

LaTeX
\begin{align}
  f (x) \leq & \| g (x) - h (x) \| \\
  \leq & \| g (x) - z (x) \| + \| z (x) - h (x) \| \\
\end{align}

Compare this to inputting in Liii STEM: align

Intuitive Keyboard Shortcuts and Symbol Toggling

One of the most laborious parts of editing LaTeX\LaTeX documents is memorizing and typing mathematical symbols. For example, the code to input (αγ)(βθ)(\alpha \neq \gamma) \rightarrow (\beta \geqslant \theta) in LaTeX\LaTeX is as follows:

LaTeX
$(\alpha \neq \gamma) \rightarrow (\beta \geqslant \theta)$

In Liii STEM, the above formula can be entered intuitively. For example, \rightarrow can be achieved by typing - followed by >, and \geq can be achieved by typing > followed by =. Liii STEM automatically converts these keystroke sequences into the corresponding symbols. Here are more examples:

  •     \implies: Type = followed by >.
  • \leqslant: Type < followed by =.
  • \Leftrightarrow: Type < followed by = then >.
  • \infty: Type @ followed by @.
  • R\mathbb{R}: Type R followed by R.

Liii STEM also supports a feature called symbol toggling. In Liii STEM's math mode, each symbol entered by the user represents not just a single symbol, but a group of related symbols. Users can switch between these symbols by pressing the Tab key. For example, α\alpha can be generated by typing A and then pressing Tab. Here are some examples:

  • \geq: Type > followed by = then press Tab.
  • \leq: Type < followed by = then press Tab.
  • β\beta: Type B then press Tab.
  • θ\theta: Type J then press Tab.
  • Θ\Theta: Type uppercase J then press Tab.
  • ϕ\phi: Type F then press Tab.
  • Φ\Phi: Type uppercase F then press Tab.

As shown in the figure below, Liii STEM provides hints for most mathematical shortcuts, helping users remember shortcuts they might forget.
