Using LaTeX in Markdown.

There are a lot of platforms that use Markdown as the main way of helping writers format their text so it looks nice and conveys their message efficiently.

If you are a scientist, then you may want to include more specialist text, such as subscripts, formulae, etc within you text. Using laTeX is a good way to do this. Using MathJaX allows you to get the best of both worlds.

The article here How to use LaTeX in Markdown

LaTeX Flashcards

January 10, 2020

I am working on a series of $\LaTeX$ flashcards to help people learn the basics.

I am not creating a fully comprehensive set of these. LaTeX has far too many features for this.

What I want to do, is create a set, that just covers the basics:

Setting up a preamble
Document types
Sections
Table Of Contents (TOC)
Cross referencing
Bibliographies
Citations
Plus a few examples of Maths and Science typesetting.

Hopefully enough for people to get started or for myself to support the teaching of the system.

I feel confident enough to actually try and tech LaTeX, so another reason for these cards would be to help me with this, should I get the opportunity to do so. It is a good idea to prepare for this sort of eventuality.

As LaTeX is aimed at academia, once you have the basics, you can keep going and learn more depending on your usage case. There is a lot of help available too.

Despite it being aimed at academic applications, it can produce very professional looking letters, CVs / Resumes and a whole range of other documents too.
