Math¶

Write formulas with $$...$$ and $...$. KaTeX draws them, and it works offline.

$$r_1 = r_0 - 0.1\,C_{\text{ori}}$$

The controller adds a pitch band. The target pitch is 0 to 75 degrees while the robot rises.

The $$ line is a display formula, and mkdeck draws it above the text, whatever its position in the slide.

Write inline math¶

To put a formula inside a sentence, use single dollar signs:

The loss $L = x$ falls as the cap rises.

How math works¶

First, mkdeck writes a placeholder for each formula when it builds the deck. Then the copy of KaTeX inside the package fills each placeholder when the slide opens. As a result, nothing loads from the network.

Dollar rules¶

Inline math follows three rules:

• The opening $ has no space after it.
• The closing $ has no space before it, and no digit after it.
• A \$ is a dollar sign that never opens a formula.

So the sentence It costs $5 and $10. stays text.

Set formulas in the options¶

The math option takes a list of display formulas, and in Python you use Slide(math=[...]). See Slide options.
