Key Features & Capabilities

Official GitHub Math Syntax: Conforms to GitHub's native MathJax/KaTeX display engine.
Inline & Block Displays: Switch effortlessly between inline ($x$) and standalone display ($$E=mc^2$$) blocks.
Formula Presets Included: Pre-loaded with common formulas for physics, probability, and calculus.
One-Click Copy & Save: Copy equations directly into your GitHub README or academic papers.
100% In-Browser Computation: Secure and private processing for academic research.

Pro Tips & Best Practices

  • •Use block display ($$) for long formulas with integrals or matrices so symbols have sufficient vertical line height.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does GitHub render mathematical equations in Markdown?

GitHub supports native math expressions using KaTeX. Wrapping equations inside double dollar signs ($$) centers the equation on a new line, while single dollar signs ($) display it inline.

Can I use LaTeX symbols like Greek letters?

Yes! Standard LaTeX macros like \alpha, \beta, \pi, \int, and \sum are fully supported.

Does this work in Hugo and Next.js static blogs?

Yes! Remark and Rehype plugins (like remark-math and rehype-katex) parse these exact $ delimiters.
