Using additional package of Latex in math-block

[moriyas1984]

To render bold characters represents vectors, we need to add a package (bm) to the latex document. For example,

$$ \usepackage{bm}

\bm{a} $$

But it does not seem to be able to use the function in this atom/vscode package. How should we do to use additional packages in math blocks?

Thanks.

MPE does not use LaTeX engine, so \usepackage is not supported. The math equation is supported via either KaTeX or MathJax, as mentioned in the documentation. According to KaTeX though, \bm is already supported with need of any packages.

If you do need full-on LaTeX, try using a code block like

```latex {cmd = True}
\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{bm}
\begin{document}
  $$
  \bm{a}
  $$
\end{document}```

This will require more setup, though, and involves a lot of boilerplate. I'm posting an issue now to see if at least the boilerplate part of that can be lessened.
