I am really tired and frustrated.

Where should I even start?

I have created a TeX element with "/Math".

Then I have tried to type in a sum sign which works with "\\sum". BUT it won't let me display numbers below and above the sign. I tried to fix this by typing in "\\sum{someNum}{some\_other\_num}". It didn't work. I tried "\\qquad \\displaystyle\\sum\_{i=1}\^n". It still doesn't work. I tried "\\underset{}{}". It didn't work.

I tried to import the ams package. It didn't work.

I tried to read the official notion documentations. They didn't exist.

I tried some of the above KaTeX commands, because I saw that notion is using a KaTeX parser. "\\qquad" worked whereas "\\;, \\>" etc. didn't work.

"\\newline" and "\\\\" don't work.

When you have your formula written, it displays the latex commands and the results together when you don't edit the TeX/Math element anymore.

I would be very thankful for helpful answers.

    you can check website
    mathjax.org
    they are rendering tex math equations in browsers

    they have some samples with sum
    if you right click on example you can see tex source

    Post your question concisely written, and including a minimal working example, on https://tex.stackexchange.com, that should help.

    Do
    $$
    \sum_x^y 2t^2
    $$
    And show me results

    Also, for newline in mathblock, instead of $$, use \begin{align*}<things here>\end{align*}

    @gitlog This doesn't work.:
    $$
    \sum_x^y 2t^2
    $$

    This works.:
    \sum_x^y 2t^2

    This doesn't work, too.:
    \begin{align*}<things here>\end{align*}

    I'm still not sure what your actual problem is. If you already posted on TeX.SE, please provide a link to your post, and I'll be happy to have a look. Otherwise, please create a minimal but complete example that concisely explains what you want, and shows what happens instead, put it on GitHub, Pastebin, or some such place, and provide the link.

    @-ANGRY-STUDENT- I guess you are using a non standard application....
    Why not use tex studio instead with latex engine?
