Math Support

Inline Math

Inline math uses single dollar signs with strict whitespace rules:

• Valid: $x^2$, $E=mc^2$
• Invalid: $ x^2$ (space after $), $x^2 $ (space before $)

Display Math

Display math uses double dollar signs and converts to equation blocks:

$$
E = mc^2
$$

Becomes:

| equation
E = mc^2
