# Export Math Formulas to Google Docs

> Export AI-generated math content from Pear Start to Google Docs in LaTeX or Plain Text format.

In Pear Start, you can generate math class materials and export them to Google Docs in [LaTeX](https://www.latex-project.org/) or Plain Text format.

* **LaTeX** :  a standardized format for rendering complex math formulas as properly formatted equations, commonly used in math and science
* **Plain Text** :  a basic format containing standard symbols and characters, compatible with common text editors

<Note>
  Due to a Google Docs limitation with rendering advanced math formulas, install an administrator-approved Google Docs extension for precise LaTeX rendering. See the Resources section for a recommended extension.
</Note>

3. Fill out the required fields and click **Generate**.
4. Click **Export** in the toolbar at the end of the generated content > **Export to Google Doc**.
