When LateX doesn't translate to HTML

[–] [email protected] 19 points 7 months ago

I am curious why H2S is formatted through.

I'm glad for this comment - I was kinda confused! :-D

As a latex and formatting snob, I will only say element abbreviations should not be italicized. H$_2$SO$_4$ is how I usually do formulas.

$ \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4 $

Prof probably pasted these in and the $s got automatically escaped or something.

Yeah one of them seems to have worked, whatever the reason...

Looks like LateX is not supported but Markdown is. Single underscore leads to italic text. _some text_ will render as some text. Two underscores will render the text bold in markdown. __example__: example

Not sure that explains the working example in the picture. If it was markdown it would have had to changed font, italized, and added a subscript.
