Using math in markdown

[p1tt1]

Is there a way to use math terms inside markdown files. the common math identifer like $...$ or \\(...\\) don't work.

It does not work yet. I'll check if we could enable MathJax for html rendering.

This is a sum: $\sum{x}$, and so is this $a+b$. This is a fraction: $\frac{a}{b}$.

Then I get the following output:

It seems like mathjax isn't rendering for me. I'm running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and I installed using the .deb package.

It's not yet incorporated. However, I still think that it should be doable since there is at least one reported example with http://waterloo.sourceforge.net/JavaFX/quadratic.html

However, in general there might be issues as described under https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32146692/loading-mathjax-in-javafx-webview

Feel welcome to put together a PR.
