Custom Mathpix macros

These commands are not standard LaTeX. The v3/text endpoint may return them in latex_styled and text fields. If you render these fields yourself, you will need to define the macros in your LaTeX preamble (see definitions below). When using the Mathpix document conversion pipeline, the definitions are injected into the preamble automatically.

Command	Renders as	Description
\longdiv	$\overline{\smash{)}123}$	Long division notation. See example below.
\Perp	$\perp\!\!\!\perp$	Double perpendicular
\Varangle	$\mathop{{<\!\!\!\!\!\text{\small)}}\:}\nolimits$	Angle symbol (uppercase variant)
\varangle	$\sphericalangle$	Angle symbol (lowercase variant)
\AA	$\mathring{\mathrm{A}}$	Ångström symbol in math mode
\longrightleftharpoons	$\rightleftharpoons$	Bidirectional harpoon for chemical equilibria

See LaTeX macro definitions

        }
      }
    }
  }
}
\newcommand{\rates}[2]{\displaystyle
  \mathrel{\longrightleftharpoons^{#1\mathstrut}_{#2}}}

Long division

Mathpix uses \longdiv to represent long division. The syntax works like \sqrt: the divisor sits outside and the dividend goes inside the braces.

warning

\longdiv is a custom Mathpix macro — standard LaTeX has no long division symbol. See the macro definitions above to include in your LaTeX documents.

Java

HttpClient client = HttpClient.newHttpClient();
String body = """
    {
      "src": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Mathpix/api-examples/master/images/long_division.jpg"
    }
    """;
HttpRequest request = HttpRequest.newBuilder()
    .uri(URI.create("https://api.mathpix.com/v3/text"))
    .header("app_id", "APP_ID")
    .header("app_key", "APP_KEY")
    .header("Content-Type", "application/json")
    .POST(HttpRequest.BodyPublishers.ofString(body))
    .build();
HttpResponse<String> response = client.send(request, HttpResponse.BodyHandlers.ofString());
System.out.println(response.body());

Example response

{
  "request_id": "4ed529ef-79a9-4032-b414-5a02ee990568",
  "version": "SuperNet-109p4",
  "is_printed": true,
  "is_handwritten": false,
  "confidence": 1,
  "confidence_rate": 1,
  "latex_styled": "8 \\longdiv { 7 2 0 0 }",
  "text": "\\( 8 \\longdiv { 7 2 0 0 } \\)"
}

The latex_styled field contains 8 \longdiv { 7 2 0 0 }, which reads as "7200 divided by 8".
