# Pluto: how to insert a table from LaTeX code into markdown

Pluto is wonderful and I am trying to pass all my slides into Pluto notebooks. A large part of my slides are written in LaTeX and I am struggling with this part in Pluto.

For example, I have this table in LaTeX:

\begin{aligned} & \text {Table 1.1. A Jupyter notebook table using LaTeX }\\ &\begin{array}{cccc} \hline \hline \text { Case } & \text { Method 1 } & \text { Method 2 } & \text { Method 3 } \\ \hline 1 & 50 & 837 & 970 \\ 2 & 47 & 877 & 230 \\ 3 & 31 & 25 & 415 \\ 4 & 35 & 144 & 23656 \\ 5 & 45 & 300 & 556 \\ \hline \end{array} \end{aligned}


If compiled in a LaTeX editor or in a Jupyter notebook leads to

It looks like such a simple thing, but I have not been able to have it displayed on Pluto. Help will be very much appreciated.

It just works if you put the  and the \begin... and the \end{aligned} and the final  in the same line, like: \begin{aligned} ... \end{aligned}.

@leandromartinez98 You just keep saving my skin. I think I had tried your advice before, but I failed (maybe a stupid typo). Then I tried the option

which I have seen people using for equations, but failed. As usual, your suggestion works! When we meet, I’ll pay you a lunch.

@leandromartinez98 By the way, do you have any idea how to auto numerate equations in LaTeX mode and using cross-ref in Pluto? I have raised an issue already about this, but apparently, nobody came up with a solution.

I think currently there is none. There is an issue open somewhere about that if I remember.

Yep, it is the issue #488.
