Formatting

Math encoding is enabled via Mathjax. See below for usage.

The math plugin uses MathJax (default) or KaTeX to render maths.

You can render blocks of maths by wrapping with $

$
\hat{H}\Psi=E\Psi
$

You can render inline math by wrapping with a single $ like so: $E=mc^2$ .

Discourse math uses a heuristic to ensure that sentences such as: “I spent 20$ and another 100$” do not get converted.
