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.
