Markdown Math Cheat Sheet
Posted : admin On 1/25/2022Math and equations¶. Jupyter Book uses MathJax for typesetting math in your HTML book build. This allows you to have LaTeX-style mathematics in your online content. This page shows you a few ways to control this. Markdown is a simple way to format text that looks great on any device. It doesn't do anything fancy like change the font size, color, or type — just the essentials, using keyboard symbols you already know. This is a quick summary of the Markdown syntax. Math notation 🔗. Math expressions.
Cheatsheet for LaTex, using Markdown for markup. I use this with atom.ioand markdown-preview-plus
to write math stuff. keyboard-localization
is necessary when using an international layout (like [swiss] german).
