11- *Mathtext* is the subset of Tex markup that this engine supports. Any string can
12- be processed as Mathtext by placing the string inside a pair of dollar signs
13- ``'$'``. Mathtext often contains many backslashes ``'\'``; so that the backslashes
14- do not need to be escaped, Mathtext is often written using raw strings. For
15- example:
11+ *Mathtext* is the subset of Tex markup that this engine supports. Note that
12+ Matplotlib can also render all text directly using TeX if :rc:`text.usetex` is
13+ *True*; see :ref:`usetex` for more details. Mathtext support is available
14+ if :rc:`text.usetex` is *False*.
