Using math formulas in the GitHub markdown #509

Open trinity-shuxianfan opened 6 years ago

trinity-shuxianfan commented 6 years ago

I was trying to add a math formula using the Rmarkdown with the output being the GitHub markdown file. It works well when I use, for example, $$x^2$$ when generating the pdf or HTML files. But the font became weird when I knitted my file to be the GitHub document. Is there a convenient way to include latex style or any normal font style math formula into the GitHub markdown output?

Hey @ShuxianFan,

I was browsing the web and there doesn't seem to be an easy fix, but you could look into readme2tex. Hope this helps!

There is an old tread in stats545 about this. The link is below

Thank you so much @ChadFibke @zeeva85 The old posted issue is very helpful! Also, I found another problem with showing the double subscripts like $x{ij}$. The md file generating from the Rmd will give something like $x{i*j}$ and if you delete the extra "" in the md file the math formula actually works in the right way.
