Equations¶

MergDown2TeX converts Obsidian equations to LaTeX.

Syntax¶

Input:

The equation $E = mc^2$ is famous.

Output:

The equation $E = mc^2$ is famous.

Input:

$$E = mc^2$$

Output:

\begin{equation}
E = mc^2
\end{equation}

Input:

$$
\begin{aligned}
a &= b + c \\
d &= e + f
\end{aligned}
$$

Output:

\begin{equation}
\begin{aligned}
a &= b + c \\
d &= e + f
\end{aligned}
\end{equation}

MergDown2TeX automatically includes:

\usepackage{amsmath}
