TeX (/'tɛx/tekh, often pronounced TeK in English) is a very widespread and popular way of representing Mathematics notation using only characters that you can type on a keyboard (see Wikipedia). This makes it a useful format to use in Moodle , since it can be entered anywhere you can type text, from forum posts to quiz questions.

- In your Moodle space, be in a context where you can edit (e.g. a Page, Quiz question, Forum post).
- In the text, editor toolbar select the Toggle Toolbar button; an expanded toolbar displays.From the expanded toolbar select the select the Insert Equation button; either the equation editor will display or you will be prompted to allow it in your browser's security settings (if the latter, then do allow it).
- The Equation Editor should now display.
As you enter TeX equations you can see these appear in the preview at the bottom of the window.
You access the equation editor from the Moodle text editor's equation button button - you may need to toggle on the full view 'Toolbar toggle' button 
(the top-left button) to see the equation editor button.
