Myne renders mathematical notation with KaTeX. You write LaTeX between dollar-sign delimiters, and Myne typesets it, either inline within a sentence or as a centered block.
Inline and block math
- Inline: wrap an expression in single dollar signs.
$E = mc^2$renders within the line. - Block: wrap it in double dollar signs on their own.
$$ \int_0^1 x^2 \, dx $$renders centered on its own line. Block math can use LaTeX environments such as\begin{aligned} … \end{aligned}.
Myne recognizes $ and $$ only; the \(…\) and \[…\] delimiters are not used.
Dollar signs and currency
So that ordinary prices don’t turn into math, Myne is careful about when a $ starts an expression:
- The opening
$must not be followed by a space or a digit, so$5and$ 100stay as text (currency), but$x$is math. - The closing
$must not be preceded by a space. - A
$…$expression does not cross a line break. - Dollar signs inside code (inline or fenced) are never treated as math.
This means a line like It cost $5, not $10. renders as plain text, while $a + b$ renders as math.
When the LaTeX is invalid
If an expression can’t be parsed, Myne shows your raw LaTeX with a subtle hint rather than a red error box. Your text is never replaced with an error, so you can see and fix it in place.
Limits
KaTeX is loaded the first time a note needs it, so the very first math on screen may appear a moment after the rest of the note. Rendering is local; nothing about your equations leaves your device.
