Brief list of useful online tools for () users:

unicodeit.net to use Maths symbols on pages that do not support LaTeX (e.g. here)

tablesgenerator.com/latex_tabl to generate tables without going mad

editor.codecogs.com to get an image of your equations you can copy-paste

detexify.kirelabs.org/classify to find what is the command for that less-used symbol you can never remember

doi2bib.org to get a well-formatted revtex bibliography from the doi of the paper

Do you have more to add? 😀

www.unicodeit.netunicodeit.net

@j_bertolotti pandoc.org to print to epub etc?

@aadmaa Great tool, but I wouldn't classify something you need to install as a "online tool" 🙂

@j_bertolotti@mathstodon.xyz@mathstodon.xyz @aadmaa@mathstodon.xyz@mathstodon.xyz You can use it pandoc.org/try/ online. I use it all the time because I am too lazy to look up the commands. 😁

pandoc.orgTry pandoc!

@j_bertolotti ooooh the doi2bib sounds amazing!!!
will definitely give it try
Reference management is such a pain in the butt

@j_bertolotti start by adding https:// in front of the ones you linked ;-)

@oblomov I genuinely thought it would work without 🤷‍♂️

@j_bertolotti It's not a tool as the others… but:

texdoc.org/
Its a online version of #texdoc which allows you to access the #TeXLaTeX package documentation.
You may use the search funtionality or use the string you would pass to texdoc (see below) like

texdoc.org/serve/geometry/0

And in case you have LaTeX installed locally texdoc itself. (tug.org/texdoc/)

just type `texdoc package` and you get the docs.
For example the LaTeX intro is at:
`texdoc usrguide`

texdoc.orgtexdoc online documentationAn online documentation system for TeX Live

@j_bertolotti texdoc.org: online documentation for TeX packages
tex.stackexchange.com: q&a site about TeX/LaTeX and friends

Mathpix (mathpix.com) allows you to scan part of your screen and on simple note and turn it in latex. It's not free but not too expensive. I used it a lot to create the slides (emacs + org-mode + beamer + metropolis theme + Inkscape) of my course on advanced calculus (for bachelor) from a supporting text book, and I saved a lot of time, avoiding rewriting tons of equations.
