What is LaTeX Formulas & Diagrams?
LaTeX Formulas & Diagrams (Gantt Charts, ERDs & Flowcharts) is a Confluence Cloud app that lets your team embed technical visuals and mathematical formulas directly on Confluence pages - no external tools, no image uploads, no copy-paste workarounds.
Core Value Proposition
- Render diagrams including flowcharts, sequence diagrams, ERDs, Gantt charts, mindmaps, and more
- Display beautiful LaTeX math for equations, matrices, aligned derivations, and technical formulas
- Place a formula inline in the page's text flow, right alongside a sentence
- Edit in a live split-view editor - source on the left, rendered preview on the right
All of this runs natively inside Confluence Cloud using macros - no external servers, no data exports, no infrastructure to maintain.

Three Macros, One App
| Macro | Best For |
|---|---|
| Easy Uml Diagrams | Flowcharts, sequences, ERDs, Gantt, mindmaps |
| LaTeX Block Equations | Display equations, matrices, multi-line aligned math |
| Latex Inline Equations | A single formula placed inline in the page's text flow |
Who Is It For?
- Engineers and architects who need diagrams in their technical specs and ADRs
- Data scientists and analysts who document models, metrics, and formulas
- Product and project managers who track timelines with Gantt charts
- Technical writers who need math-rich documentation alongside prose
