Mathematical Equations
We support LaTeX math notation for both inline and display equations.
Inline Math
Wrap inline math in single dollar signs:
The equation $E = mc^2$ is famous.
Renders as: The equation $E = mc^2$ is famous.
Display Math
Wrap display equations in double dollar signs:
$$
\int_{a}^{b} f(x) dx = F(b) - F(a)
$$
Common Math Examples
Fractions:
$\frac{a+b}{c+d}$
Matrices:
$$
\begin{bmatrix}
a & b \\
c & d
\end{bmatrix}
$$
Greek Letters:
$\alpha, \beta, \gamma, \delta, \epsilon$
Chemical Formulas
Use our special chemistry syntax for chemical formulas:
Basic Formulas
\{chem\}H_2O\{/chem\}
\{chem\}CO_2\{/chem\}
\{chem\}C_6H_{12}O_6\{/chem\}
Chemical Equations
\{chem\}2H_2 + O_2 -> 2H_2O\{/chem\}
Complex Molecules
\{chem\}CH_3CH_2OH\{/chem\} - Ethanol
\{chem\}Ca(OH)_2\{/chem\} - Calcium hydroxide
Diagrams with Mermaid
Create flowcharts, sequence diagrams, and more using Mermaid syntax:
Flowchart
```mermaid
graph TD
A[Start] --> B{Decision}
B -->|Yes| C[Do this]
B -->|No| D[Do that]
C --> E[End]
D --> E
```
Sequence Diagram
```mermaid
sequenceDiagram
participant A as Alice
participant B as Bob
A->>B: Hello Bob!
B->>A: Hi Alice!
```
Gantt Chart
```mermaid
