3. Equation Manage Panel

1. Before Start

1) How to open the Panel

You can open the equation mange panel by :

• Command palette : Open Equations Manage Panel
• Toolbar icon

2) Use Fast Math Renderer

By default, the panel uses a reliable rendering method that ensures equations display correctly. If you have many equations and experience slow loading, enable “Use fast math renderer” in settings (Settings > Display (Categorical) > Equation Panel > Use fast math renderer in equation panel).

2. Features of the Panel

(1) Usage of buttons on panel toolbar

We use the button on outline mode for tutorial, The main panel includes following buttons :

1. Preview item : select between equations, figures and callouts to preview in the panel.
2. View mode : Switch between outline view and list view.
3. Disable refresh : Disable auto refresh, This locks the File, Equations and Headings rendered in panel, but view mode change, filters and search will still work. You can use this option for : - Disable costly auto-refresh for large documents - Lock equations so you can change to another file and make cross-file citations.
4. Search : Search equations by content.
5. More Options : show / fold subpanel.

The subpanel includes :

1. Show headings only : Only show headings, hide equations (use the panel as an outline!).
2. Sort equations (List mode) : Sort equations by their order in the file, or by their tag name.
3. Collapse / Expand all (Outline mode) : Collapse or Expand all headings in outline view.
4. Show/Hide tags : Show or hide tags in the panel.
5. Show all headings : Only show headings with equations.
6. Filters :
   • 1.Show only tagged equations/figures/callouts. (This works for all types of content)
   • 2. show only boxed equations. (This only works for equations)

3.2 Drag and Drop Citations

1. Drag the item from the panel, Drop it into your text where you want the citation, the properly formatted \ref{} citation is automatically inserted

2. If you have multiple editor views, you can also drag equations across editors. This plugin will automatically resolve cross-file citations and insert footnotes for it.

3. For an equation/image without tags, you can still drag it to the editor, and a panel will pop up for you to add tag for it.

4. For callouts in panel, we don’t support drag-cite callouts without tags (since it will break original prefix), please add tag for it manually.

3.3 Special Filters

Filters are very useful features for you to manage important equations. Currently we provide 2 filters:

1. Tag-only Filter

Only show equations with tags.

This is added for many derivates need no tags. You may use this with Auto-number tagged equations only to ignore some equations of middle-derivations. See issue #105 for details. But I suggest to use boxed filter since this still need you to manually tag equations, see en/5. Become a Pro for details.

2. Boxed Filter

Only show equations wrapped with \boxed{}. Note for simplicity in this filter it only check if the first non-blank line of equations has \boxed.

You can use Latex Suite box current equation command to box equations, we also provide a command box current equation in our plugin.

To support typst mode box, this plugin use boxed as default typst box symbol (for typst mate plugin). This can be set at settings > Display (Categorical) > Others > Typst box symbol, see feature #140 for details.

For some users, they use the first line of multi-line equation as class, we also provide an option to this. Check Settings > Display (Categorical) > Equation Panel > Skip first line when filter boxed equation to enable this feature.
