Gradescope now supports LaTeX

Write math expressions using LaTeX markup

Now you can include math symbols in rubric items, comments, and regrade requests and responses using LaTeX!

Here’s how it works:

Inline mode: Put $$ around your LaTeX markup, and Gradescope will render your math expressions inline with text.

Paragraph mode: Put $$$ delimiters around your LaTeX markup. Your math expressions will appear larger and in a separate paragraph.

Thanks to everyone who requested this feature! If you have any questions or feedback about it, please reach out to us at feedback@gradescope.com. We’ll be releasing more features this winter, and you can track our progress on our product roadmap.
