LaTeX Table Syntax

Using tabular environment to typeset tables with optional horizontal and vertical lines. Tables can be captioned, labelled and referenced.

Mathpix Markdown

Markdown is a lightweight markup language for creating formatted text using a plain-text editor, created by John Gruber and Aaron Swartz. Mathpix provides its own superset of Markdown that has extended support for STEM features, called Mathpix Markdown, or MMD for short.

Mathpix Markdown is a superset of Markdown with extended support for LaTeX and other STEM-specific syntax like SMILES for chemical diagram rendering. An open source implementation called mathpix-markdown-it is available on Github.
