I would like to use LaTeX (or similar) math formulaes for the block names in my simulink project. However, when I click the name of a block to edit it, the Enable Equations button () (in the Font and Paragraph Section, Format tab) is greyed out. How do I enable equations? I want to give names like
to constant blocks, so they are easier for me to remember which is which. Basically, I want this name under the block to display correctly.

I am using Matlab R2020a for linux.

The latex is only allowed in the annotations, not the block names. An alternate method is to create an annotation using latex and associate it with the block described here: https://www.mathworks.com/help/simulink/ug/annotations.html#buftyl8. That annotation will be associated with that particular block, and you can use that annotation as the name of the block.
