Downvotes here showing it’s controversial, but I am willing to bet these folk have never given AsciiDoc, reStructuredText, & LaTeX a spin in comparison (for ‘real world’ documentation, etc. with multiple output targets) to actually know what they are talking about 😅
You can embed LaTeX math formulas in Markdown with
$x = y$on many clients.Let me try: $f(x) = \frac{1}{x}$.
Doesn't seem to work on Lemmy. Maybe a bug/missing feature?
It’s always a series of extensions nonstandardized but said to all be under the same umbrella. It would be better if these things called a spade a spade & say Markdown-like or Markdown-inspired instead of giving a false sense of compatibility.
