Pro: doesn't interfere with escaping parens and brackets (introduced by MultiMarkdown for this reason). \\(a link)ĭouble backslash: \\(inline\\) and \\ Single backslash: \(inline\) and \Ĭon: interferes with ability to escape parens and brackets e.g.

There are frequently restrictions on when this is recognized. Pro: same as LaTeX ( $$ is deprecated TeX syntax but never mind), easiest to write.Ĭon: prone to false positives like $20 - confusing to users who don't write math. It's a superset of latex math, so could be used harmlessly(?) with these proposals. CoffeeTeX is an intriguing new option, based on a lot of unicode.Arguably syntaxes like AsciiMath (MMD used to do this), are a better match for Markdown's philosophy, but most people who care about non-trivial math support already know LaTeX syntax (which is why MMD 3 switched to LaTeX). I'm taking for granted that the content of the math fragments is LaTeX syntax. If you're adding math support to your markdown tool, I have one plea: please consider supporting standard LaTeX delimiters before inventing your own. It'd be nice if everybody could agree on the same syntax(es) to denote math fragments in Markdown alas, as every extension to Markdown, it's a mess :-( TODO: This is becoming useful as a cheatsheet => rearrange this page to be user-oriented before being developer-oriented.

So I started from scratch, spent some weekends hacking together my own solution. I don’t have nearly enough money to match Chen Luo’s purposed offer, but I do have my own pocket of tricks and some free time. No suitable offers surfaced (I honestly do not think there will be, either), and I decided that instead of waiting for others to do something about this, I should act myself. It came as a great shock when Chen Luo announced that he felt he could not actively continue the development, and wished to sell the ownership of Mou. I write Markdown all the time, and since I use macOS on a daily basis, Mou is my go-to editor whenever I wish to generate something with markup.
