Owlstown supports writing \(\LaTeX\) math in blocks that have text:
- Text block
- Callout block
- Markdown block
Owlstown uses MathJax to support this feature.
How to use
To add math to a text block, use delimiters at start and end of your equations.
For inline equations, use \( and \).
This equation code \( ax^2 + \sqrt{bx} + c = 0 \) renders as \( ax^2 + \sqrt{bx} + c = 0 \)
For centered equations, use \[ and \].
This equation code \[ x = {-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} \over 2a} \] renders as:
\[ x = {-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} \over 2a} \]
Markdown support
The delimiters in Markdown are different from text blocks. Notice the two backslashes.
For inline equations, use \\( and \\).
This equation code \\( ax^2 + \sqrt{bx} + c = 0 \\) renders as \( ax^2 + \sqrt{bx} + c = 0 \)
For centered equations, use \\[ and \\].
This equation code \\[ x = {-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} \over 2a} \\] renders as:
\[ x = {-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} \over 2a} \]
