LaTeX Math for Confluence Macros
Easy Math - LaTeX Inline
This inline macro allows embedding math formula inline next to other content. This is handy for short expressions and units.

Easy Math - LaTeX Block
As the name suggests, it renders formula in new block and creates newline in the page. This is better for larger equations.
LaTeX Math for Confluence Block Macro
Easy Math - LaTeX Block L
This macro is the same as block macro, except it will open a large input box for entering TeX. This is better suited if you have a very large block of TeX that is not that easy to edit and view with other two macros.
So, this is recommended macro for large equations and expressions.
