                        Autoformat

                        Reading time: 1min

                        Autoformat works in the add-on for Workspace and the add-in for Microsoft 365, but it is an optional feature if you are using MathType in other environments. If you are a developer, you can enable it by parameters.

                        Autoformat replaces some symbols from the keyboard with their better-looking counterparts. At present, the replacements are:

                        The replacement is done while you type, so you never see the actual key pressed.

                        Autoformat now auto-closes parentheses and alike. When you write the left enclosure, the suitable enclosure is automatically put in. These are the enclosers that have this feature:

                        If you want to modify this automatic end symbol, place the cursor next to the character on the inside and write the alternate end symbol. See this example of an open-closed interval:
