Description

I am adding math to my note and the double-\ (\) does not work to get newline. I have to do quad-\ (\\) to get a newline. Below is and example of both and the result.

Text:

Result:

To Reproduce

  1. load the Text

Hi, @perfectionist

Honestly I don use MathJax at all, but you can configure it and make pull request. Code for this part stored here:

I will take a look but I will also try to upgrade to MathJax version 3. One request I was going to make was the numbering of certain equations. I use several Markdown editors that support either MathJax or KaTeX.

My grandson had a Discrete Math class in computer science department at Texas A&M University. They had to submit all home done in LaTeX because the professors felt student handwriting was to hard to read. Actually, he could use a Markdown language with either MathJax or KaTeX (KaTeX maybe faster but does support as much math stuff) as long as they could produce a PDF file.

Linebreaks are not yet implemented in MathJax version 3. This is one of the significant features from version 2 that has not yet been ported to version 3 (see https://github.com/mathjax/MathJax/issues/2312).
