Wouldn't it be cool if DEV could render LaTeX?

Oh neat, you can. c=±a2+b2 c = \pm\sqrt{a^2 + b^2} c=±a2+b2​ Here's the code to produce that snippet: {% katex %} c = \pm\sqrt{a^2 + b...

Lemme see if it works...

{% katex %}
c = \pm\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}
{% endkatex %}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

hello $$\alpha=4$$ testing inline equation
testing double dollar notation

$$\text{This would be amazing}\longrightarrow \sqrt{x}$$
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Ah crap without code block?

What's the best charts library with a small bundle size?
