SUMMARY

The discussion centers on formatting mathematical content using LaTeX or LyX, specifically for creating a spark chart with customizable layouts for formulas. The user seeks an easier method for positioning equations with specific formatting options such as color and borders. Current suggestions include writing a multi-column document or a complex LaTeX layout, neither of which meets the user's needs. The user is looking for a LaTeX plugin or alternative software that allows for a table-based layout for better organization of mathematical content.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with LaTeX typesetting
  • Understanding of LyX document preparation
  • Basic knowledge of mathematical formatting
  • Experience with document layout design
NEXT STEPS
  • Research LaTeX packages for table-based layouts, such as 'tabular' or 'array'
  • Explore LaTeX plugins that enhance layout capabilities, like 'pgf' or 'tikz'
  • Investigate alternative software for mathematical formatting, such as MathType or Overleaf
  • Learn about multi-column document creation in LaTeX for better organization
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, educators, students, and anyone involved in creating formatted mathematical content who seeks efficient layout solutions.

Hi

I would like to create sort of a spark chart where I put some formulas that I often forget etc...
I usually would use LaTex or Lyx to write mathematical formulas; however, I have not found a easy way to do the formatting (place different "boxes" of equations to some arbitrarily defined place on the page, color, borders, etc..).

Is there an easy way in LaTex I'm not aware of or can anybody recommend another program for such a task?

thx

Well I aready googled and basically found the following advice

A) Write it as a multi-column document (works reasonably well but isn't really what I want)
B) Write a LaTex layout (which is pretty complex to begin with)

Since neither of those is really a good solution I asked here.
Maybe some knows a latex plugin for sort of a table based layout or can recommend another program.
