Quartz uses Katex by default to typeset both inline and block math expressions at build time.
Syntax
Block Math
Block math can be rendered by delimiting math expression with $$.
$$
f(x) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty
f\hat(\xi),e^{2 \pi i \xi x}
\,d\xi
$$
$$
f(x) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty
f\hat(\xi),e^{2 \pi i \xi x}
,d\xi
$$
\begin{aligned}
a &= b + c \ &= e + f \
\end{aligned}
$$
\begin{bmatrix}
1 & 2 & 3 \
a & b & c
\end{bmatrix}
[!warn] Due to limitations in the underlying parsing library, block math in Quartz requires the
$$delimiters to be on newlines like above.
Inline Math
Similarly, inline math can be rendered by delimiting math expression with a single $. For example, $e^{i\pi} = -1$ produces e^{i\pi} = -1
Escaping symbols
There will be cases where you may have more than one $ in a paragraph at once which may accidentally trigger MathJax/Katex.
To get around this, you can escape the dollar sign by doing \$ instead.
For example:
- Incorrect:
I have $1 and you have $2produces I have $1 and you have $2 - Correct:
I have \$1 and you have \$2produces I have $1 and you have $2
Using mhchem
Add the following import to the top of quartz/plugins/transformers/latex.ts (before all the other
imports):
import "katex/contrib/mhchem"
Customization
Latex parsing is a functionality of the plugins/Latex plugin. See the plugin page for customization options.
