Math Not Rendering Correctly
Symptom
LaTeX math appears as raw text instead of rendered equations, or renders incorrectly.
Supported syntax
Markant supports:
| Syntax | Type | Example |
|---|---|---|
$...$ | Inline math | $E = mc^2$ |
$$...$$ | Display math | $$\sum_{i=1}^{n} x_i$$ |
\(...\) | Inline math (alt) | \(E = mc^2\) |
\[...\] | Display math (alt) | \[\sum_{i=1}^{n} x_i\] |
\begin{align}...\end{align} | Aligned equations |
Common issues
Dollar signs in non-math text
A single $ in regular text (like “$50”) can confuse the math parser. Use \$ to escape dollar signs that aren’t math:
The price is \$50.Unsupported LaTeX commands
Markant uses SwiftUIMath for rendering, which supports a large subset of LaTeX but not everything. Unsupported commands may render as raw text.
Commonly unsupported:
\newcommandand custom macros- Some advanced environments (
\tikz,\pgfplots) \text{}inside math (use\mathrm{}instead)
Math in tables
Math works in tables. If it appears broken, check that the table syntax is correct — a misaligned pipe character can break the entire row.
