Later on, the text can refer to this equation by its number using syntax like this: As seen in equation ({{EquationNote|1}}), example text... The result looks like this: As seen in equation , example text... The equation number produced by {{EquationNote}} is a link that the user can click to go immediately to the cited equation.
The most widely used format is LaTeX, originally developed by Leslie Lamport, which incorporates document styles for books, letters, slides, etc., and adds support for referencing and automatic numbering of sections and equations.
There is at least one OCR tool that can convert a handwritten formula to Latex and other formats. Mathpix allows 10 snips a month free. I don't know enough to edit the body of the Help page (I've not yet used Mathpix so don't know how good it is, and how compatible with Wikipedia, and don't know what else is out there), but I think there should be a Tools section with this sort of information.
LaTeX (/ ˈ l ɑː t ɛ k / ⓘ LAH-tek or / ˈ l eɪ t ɛ k / LAY-tek, [2] [Note 1] often stylized as L a T e X) is a software system for typesetting documents. [3] LaTeX markup describes the content and layout of the document, as opposed to the formatted text found in WYSIWYG word processors like Google Docs, LibreOffice Writer, and Microsoft Word.
The HTML code, if entered diligently, will contain all semantic information to transform the equation back to TeX or any other code as needed. It can even contain differences TeX does not normally catch, e.g. {{ math | ''i'' }} for the imaginary unit and {{ math |< var > i </ var >}} for an arbitrary index variable.
There is no way to type LaTeX into a template without typing the <math></math> code and positioning the symbol to exactly at the base of the integral (I'm not sure if it can even be done with LaTeX on wiki, if it can it would still be hard), by this I mean setting up all the maths syntax such that the user can enter the letter and its passed to ...

It is widely used in mathematics, through its extension called LaTeX, and is a de facto standard. (The above expression is written in LaTeX.) More recently, another approach for mathematical typesetting is provided by MathML. However, it is not well supported in web browsers, which is its primary target.
