Bug ID: 53251
Summary: Math editor is called Latex, but that is not accurate
and possibly confusing
Product: VisualEditor
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Editing Tools

The editor has the title and tooltip "LaTeX". This is not entirely correct.
It's just the math environment subset for LaTeX that we can handle and support.
The label also conflicts with the visual symbol, which clearly communicates the
Math function using the sum symbol. Remember that many people might not even
know what LaTeX even is, causing further confusion.
The problem here is that we want to explain to the user that we want him to
enter the math using LaTeX, because otherwise he might not understand how to
enter his formula. Perhaps that is why the LaTeX label was chosen.
We should find a better way. Perhaps using a label or placeholder. "Enter
formula using AMS-LaTeX"
