• How to get a 'therefore' symbol

LaTex allows the display and printing of mathematical and scientific formulas and is widely used in academia. The SEQTA editor and SEQTA Creator allow the embedding of the LaTeX syntax. 

The steps for embedding LaTeX are as follows:

1. Open the SEQTA Editor or SEQTA Creator
2. If using the SEQTA Editor or Legacy module select Insert > Maths
3. If using SEQTA Creator, click and drag the Maths expression module onto the work area
4. Type in the formula and click Apply or OK
5. The maths symbol should then display

Example of some of the symbols the LaTeX editor can provide.

So if you then do something like this:

x = y, y = z \therefore x = z

It will look like this:
