One equation
Section titled “One equation”While editing a statement, Edit → Copy as LaTeX or Edit → Copy as MathML copies it, with its result:
- LaTeX, wrapped in
$$…$$, for LaTeX documents and Markdown that shows math (M_{\mathrm{max}} := \frac{q \cdot L^{2}}{8} = 54\ \mathrm{kN} \cdot \mathrm{m}). - MathML: paste it into Word with Ctrl+V as plain text (or Paste Special → Unformatted text) and Word turns it into an equation you can edit.
- To go the other way, typing or pasting LaTeX to make math, see Type math in LaTeX.
Ctrl+C while editing a statement copies its text form, the linear syntax (M_max := q*L^2/8 = ? kN*m), to paste into a chat or an email. Pasted at the crosshair with Ctrl+V, text in the linear syntax becomes math again.
A plot or a picture
Section titled “A plot or a picture”Right-click a plot or a picture and choose Copy as image: a sharp PNG to paste into a document, an email or a chat.
The whole sheet
Section titled “The whole sheet”| As | How |
|---|---|
| Word | File → Export to Word… (in the browser, the Word button): the text with its headings and formatting, every statement an equation you can edit in Word, with its result; tables, plots and pictures |
| File → Export to PDF…: the pages as they look, with selectable text | |
| Markdown | File → Export to Markdown…: the text, each statement as display math with its result, plots as pictures inside the file |
| Markdown, LaTeX or Word | beermat export sheet.bbm --to md, --to latex, or --to docx --out sheet.docx from a terminal |
A Markdown export is one file: plots go inside it as pictures, not in a folder beside it. The beermat command can’t draw plots, so its Markdown and Word documents have a line where each plot goes, and its LaTeX leaves plots out.
In Word
Section titled “In Word”A Word document has no free-form page, so the regions follow one another in reading order: top to bottom, and left to right on a line. Headings use Word’s own heading styles, so the navigation pane and a table of contents work. A collapsed area stays out, as when printing. An error is written in red under its equation.
The .bbm file itself is Markdown too, readable as it is: see Why a worksheet is a Markdown file.
