Supported output formats

You can use Snip for more than just LaTeX. Snips supports many additional formats like Microsoft Word Equation, MathML, Asciimath, TSV, HTML and more.

LaTeX

Example equation
\begin{aligned} \text { Let } I &=\int \frac{\ln (\tan x)}{\cos ^{2} x} d x \\ &=\int \sec ^{2} x \cdot \ln (\tan x) d x \end{aligned}

MS Word

Example equation
