LaTeX GitHub Markdown

Installation

Introduction

A chrome extension that adds LaTeX buttons to Markdown elements on GitHub. The LaTeX formulas begin and end with $ or $$ are all rendered as inline style. Following is an example:

$$\left { \begin{array}{rll} \nabla \cdot \mathbf{E} &=& \displaystyle \frac {\rho} {\varepsilon_0} \\ \nabla \cdot \mathbf{B} &=& 0 \\ \nabla \times \mathbf{E} &=& \displaystyle - \frac{\partial \mathbf{B}} {\partial t} \\ \nabla \times \mathbf{B} &=& \displaystyle \mu_0\mathbf{J} + \mu_0 \varepsilon_0 \frac{\partial \mathbf{E}} {\partial t} \\ \end{array} \right .$$

If you successfully installed this extension, you can see a LaTeX button in the right-top corner of this Markdown document.

You can see the LaTeX buttons in the following elements:

• A Markdown file in a repository.

• The comments in an issue.

• A gist file whose extension is .md.

• A wiki page.
