LaTex

This fork of markdown-preview enables LaTex to be rendered in a preview window of a markdown document in Atom. If focus is given to either the markdown source editor or the preview window then this can be toggled in the menu Packages › Markdown Preview with Katex › Toggle LaTex Rendering or using the keymap ctrl-shift-x.

To enable LaTeX rendering by default search for Markdown Preview with Katex in the Filter packages input dialogue of the File › Settings menu and tick Enable Latex Rendering By Default.

Syntax

The syntax to specify an equation uses dollar signs $. If you want to literally display a dollar sign you can use \$.

1. Displayed equations are delimited by $$. Here is an example:

   ... Here she comes to wreck the day. it's because i'm green isn't it! hey,
   maybe i will give you a call sometime. your number still 911? $$ R_{\mu \nu}
   - {1 \over 2}g_{\mu \nu}\,R + g_{\mu \nu} \Lambda = {8 \pi G \over c^4}
   T_{\mu \nu} $$ kinda hot in these rhinos. look at that, it's exactly three
   seconds before i honk your nose and pull your underwear over your head ...
   

   You can also use the delimiters \[ ... \] for display equations. Here is an example:

   ... Here she comes to wreck the day. it's because i'm green isn't it! hey,
   maybe i will give you a call sometime. your number still 911? \[ R_{\mu \nu}
   - {1 \over 2}g_{\mu \nu}\,R + g_{\mu \nu} \Lambda = {8 \pi G \over c^4}
   T_{\mu \nu} \] kinda hot in these rhinos. look at that, it's exactly three
   seconds before i honk your nose and pull your underwear over your head ...
   

   You can use either format in the same document, and in fact the parser will even match $$ ... \] and \[ ... $$, however it is advised to use only a single format in a particular markdown document.

2. Inline equations are delimited by $. Here is an example:

   ... Here she comes to wreck the day. $\int -xe^{x^2} dx$ it's because i'm
   green isn't it! hey, maybe i will give you a call sometime. your number
   still 911? kinda hot in $\int -xe^{x^2} dx$ these rhinos. look at that,
   it's exactly three seconds before i honk your $\int -xe^{x^2} dx$ nose and
   pull your underwear over your head ...
