The use of LaTeX in a piped link or in a section heading does not appear in blue in the linked text or the table of content. Moreover, links to section headings containing LaTeX formulas do not always work as expected. Finally, having many LaTeX formulas may significantly increase the processing time of a page.
For instance, the formula above was typeset using <math display=block> \int _ 0 ^ \pi \sin x \, dx.</math>. If you find an article which indents lines with spaces in order to achieve some formula layout effect, you should convert the formula to LaTeX markup. Having LaTeX-based formulae inline has the following drawbacks:
There is at least one OCR tool that can convert a handwritten formula to Latex and other formats. Mathpix allows 10 snips a month free. I don't know enough to edit the body of the Help page (I've not yet used Mathpix so don't know how good it is, and how compatible with Wikipedia, and don't know what else is out there), but I think there should be a Tools section with this sort of information.
Popular languages for input by humans and interpretation by computers include TeX [1] /LaTeX [2] and eqn. [3] Computer algebra systems such as Macsyma, Mathematica (Wolfram Language), Maple, and MATLAB each have their own syntax. When the purpose is informal communication with other humans, syntax is often ad hoc, sometimes called "ASCII math ...
LaTeX (/ ˈ l ɑː t ɛ k / ⓘ LAH-tek or / ˈ l eɪ t ɛ k / LAY-tek, [2] [Note 1] often stylized as L a T e X) is a software system for typesetting documents. [3] LaTeX markup describes the content and layout of the document, as opposed to the formatted text found in WYSIWYG word processors like Google Docs, LibreOffice Writer, and Microsoft Word.
Raw wiki or HTML code Built into MediaWiki. Encodes appearance rather than its semantics. Difficult to process in software. Unable to handle square roots, vertical fractions, and other common formula types. Proper use (italic variables, protected spaces around operators) requires care and is a frequent source of mistakes.

For Vim, possible plugins include Vim-LaTeX Suite, [50] Automatic TeX, [51] and TeX-9. [52] For Apache OpenOffice and LibreOffice, iMath and TexMaths extensions can provide mathematical TeX typesetting. [53] [54] For MediaWiki, the Math extension provides mathematical TeX typesetting, but the code needs to be surrounded by <math> tag.
