How do I convert Markdown to PDF?

Simply paste your Markdown text into the Markdown Flow editor on the left side, and click the 'Export PDF' button on the preview panel. The tool will automatically render your Markdown, including LaTeX and Mermaid diagrams, into a high-quality PDF document.

Can I convert Markdown to Word (DOCX)?

Yes, Markdown Flow supports exporting Markdown directly to Microsoft Word (DOCX) format. Paste your text, such as output from ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, into the editor and click the 'Export DOCX' button to download a formatted Word document.

How do I paste AI-generated Markdown (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) into Word?

Copy the Markdown output from any AI tool such as ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, paste it into the Markdown Flow editor, and click 'Export DOCX'. All formatting, bold text, lists, and code blocks will be perfectly preserved in the resulting Word document.

How to Write LaTeX Math Equations in Markdown

July 12, 2026

2 min read

Markdown doesn't support math notation on its own - but Markdown Flow adds full LaTeX equation rendering through KaTeX, so you can write inline and display equations directly in your Markdown and export them exactly as they appear.

Inline vs. Display Math

Wrap an equation in single dollar signs to keep it inline with your text: $E = mc^2$ renders as $E = mc^2$ right in the middle of a sentence.

For an equation that deserves its own line, use double dollar signs to create a display block:

\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

Writing Matrices

KaTeX supports full matrix notation:

\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 4 & 5 & 6 \\ 7 & 8 & 9 \end{bmatrix}

Common Equation Patterns

What you want	Syntax	Result
Fraction	`\frac{a}{b}`	$\frac{a}{b}$
Square root	`\sqrt{x}`	$\sqrt{x}$
Summation	`\sum_{i=1}^{n} i`	$\sum_{i=1}^{n} i$
Integral	`\int_0^1 x^2 \,dx`	$\int_0^1 x^2 \,dx$
Greek letters	`\alpha`, `\beta`, `\pi`	$\alpha$ , $\beta$ , $\pi$

Put them together and you get real equations: $\sum_{i=1}^{n} i = \frac{n(n+1)}{2}$

Why This Matters for Students, Researchers, and Engineers

If you've ever asked ChatGPT to explain a formula or derive a proof, the answer usually comes back in LaTeX-flavored Markdown. Most places you'd paste that - Notion, Google Docs, plain text editors - don't render it. Markdown Flow does, live, as you type or paste.

Exporting Equations to PDF and Word

Once your equations render correctly in the preview, exporting keeps them intact:

PDF export renders equations exactly as shown in the preview - properly typeset, not as an image or broken text.
DOCX export converts equations into readable $...$ / $$...$$ text so they stay legible in Word even without a LaTeX renderer installed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to know LaTeX to use this? You need to know the syntax for the specific equations you want - KaTeX supports the same commands you'd use in a LaTeX document, and most AI assistants already write valid syntax when asked to show math.

Does this work for chemistry notation too? Yes - see our guide on writing chemistry formulas in Markdown.

What if my equation doesn't render? Markdown Flow automatically repairs common issues like non-standard delimiters before rendering - see our guide on fixing broken AI-generated Markdown for details.

Paste an equation-heavy ChatGPT response into Markdown Flow and see it rendered - and exportable - in seconds.
