Wikipedia uses the LaTeX format for formulas.

LaTeX is a popular and powerful language for formatting documents and formulas, and there is a variety of software for Ubuntu that can help edit it, including LyX and TeXStudio and Kile.

LibreOffice Math does not normally support LaTeX equations, but there's an extension for LibreOffice called TexMaths that will allow you to use LaTeX formulas, such as those used on Wikipedia, inside LibreOffice Math.

However, TeXMaths unfortunately does not appear to be available (yet) for the latest 5.x versions of LibreOffice.

Please let me know if this answer was helpful or if you have further questions.

  • I thought it was mathml. I would like to convert latex formulas to libreoffice math, but I think it's not possible.

  • Wikipedia itself says it uses LaTeX; please see this page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Displaying_a_formula

Another alternative solution is to convert the LaTeX code to MathML format and then import the code to Libreoffice Math. Lots of conversion tool available. Link for two such tools are given below

Online converter

itex2MML

After the conversion copy the generated code and open Libreoffice math, then goto tool menu> import MathML from clipboard.
