Hi!

Will you be adding support for cases in mathjax?

1. Support Staff 1 Posted by Brett on 08 Nov, 2012 05:11 PM

   

   I have to admit that I don't know what that means.

   MathJax is included as a convenience, but I'm not a math guy. If MathJax can support it, though, I can probably get it working. Do you have a link to any documentation from MathJax on this?

   This is something I would be interested in as well.

   The implentation in Markdown-Here (Chrome/Firefox plugin to allow Markdown in Gmail) works pretty well for me. I think it uses MathJax so perhaps that would be a starting point.

   Hello -- I bought Marked specifically for MathJax support, specifically as advertized here http://markedapp.com/, but I can't guess how to make it work. I tried following instructions like these, https://stackedit.io/, copied here

   MathJax

   You can render LaTeX mathematical expressions using MathJax, as on [math.stackexchange.com][1]:

   The Gamma function satisfying $\Gamma(n) = (n-1)!\quad\forall
   n\in\mathbb N$ is via the Euler integral

   $$ \Gamma(z) = \int_0^\infty t^{z-1}e^{-t}dt\,. $$

   Tip: Make sure you include MathJax into your publications to render mathematical expression correctly. Your page/template should include something like:

   <script type="text/javascript" src="https://stackedit.io/libs/MathJax/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS_HTML"></script>
   

   and i wrote the following
   

   # Math Test
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   <script type="text/javascript"
   src="https://stackedit.io/libs/MathJax/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS_HTML"></script>
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   $\mu = 42$
   

   which displays like this
   $\mu = 42$ instead of typeset like math. Can you help, please & thanks?

   Which version of Marked are you using? If you're on 1.4, you have to use
   \[ delimiters as documented in the MultiMarkdown documentation. If
   you're on 2.x, you should be able to use $ as you show, assuming MathJax
   is enabled in Style preferences.

   Looks like 1.4 (228). I just tried
   

   [\mu = 42]
   

   and
   

   [$\mu=42$]
   

   and it didn't display correctly. Can you give me a (full even if tiny, like the above) example or point me to the appropriate documentation lest I be doomed to continuing trial-and-error?

   I did put in the correct bracketing syntax in my sample, it just didn't show up in my response above. My .md file looks like
   backslash
   left-square-bracket
   backslash
   m
   u

   space

   space
   4
   2
   backslash
   right-square-bracket

   let me try that again in plain text. My full MD sample (which doesn't work) is this (copy pasted from text edit)

   Math Test

   [\mu = 42]

   oh my god, I can't get this forum to stop formatting my pastes & just show my stuff literally -- i'm including a file. Sorry for the noise :(

   Still wondering which version... From the MMD documentation:

    \\[ {e}^{i\pi } 1=0 \\]
   
    \\[ {x}_{1,2}=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{{b}^{2}-4ac}}{2a} \\]
   
   
    You can also include formulas within a sentence, such as \\({x}^{2} {y}^{2}=1\\).
   

   This works in 2.2 and should work in 1.4:

   

   Tip: Indent your code examples by 5 spaces to get exact formatting.

    In 2.x, this also works for inline equations:

     ${e}^{i\pi } 1=0$

    When are you posting 2.x on the App Store? I am trying to get this to work and it doesn't work with $ delimiters. The MMD reference says they should work:

    First, that's not an official MMD reference. The version in 1.4 does not recognize $ delimiters. 2.0 will be submitted to the App Store next week as a new application requiring a new purchase. Availability will depend on the review process.

    Here's the official version:

    :)

    What pricing are you look at for Marked 2? Is the upgrade pay-for for everyone or only App Store users? (Apologies if this is getting too far off-topic :))

    Btw, awesome response time! :)

    Marked 2's official price will _probably_ be $13.99 US. It will be
    offered initially at an "intro" price to allow users to upgrade,
    probably $9.

    Note that it's available right now for 11.99 at http://marked2app.com.
