The LaTeX symbols palette

This tool can be invoked with the "[Symbols Icon]" button in shrinked mode.

This tool displays a list of LaTeX symbols, by category. Choose a category in the list right under the symbol palette.

To view the LaTeX code for a symbol, click the symbol and the code will appear below the category chooser. You can then click the "[Insert Symbol Icon]" button to insert the symbol in the equation editor. The same effect is obtained if you double-click the symbol.

Depending on the symbol you choose, you may need to include one or more additional LaTeX packages. If you get a LaTeX error complaining about an undefined control sequence, insert the \usepackage{xyz} directive in the preamble (in expanded mode) where xyz is the necessary package.
