I'm writing markdown on vscode. But some math latex commands are not supported on vscode built-in preview. E.g.
$$ \ket{\psi} $$
cannot be properly rendered. How do I fix this? How do I add support to a bigger set of commands? Are there any extension that does this for me?
I installed markdown + math extension, but still not working for \ket command. Also for some reason, markdown + math's official example for equation numbers supporting is not working. I don't understand why.
VSCode 1.58 (June 2021) will support math equations rendering in markdown:
Math formula rendering in the Markdown preview
VS Code's built-in Markdown preview can now render math equations using KaTeX
Inline math equations are wrapped in single dollar signs:
Inline math: $x^2$While you can create a math equation block with double dollar signs:
Math block: $$ \displaystyle \left( \sum_{k=1}^n a_k b_k \right)^2 \leq \left( \sum_{k=1}^n a_k^2 \right) \left( \sum_{k=1}^n b_k^2 \right) $$You can set "markdown.math.enabled": false to disable this feature.
It even comes with:
Markdown math formula syntax highlighting
We now also support highlighting of math equations in Markdown source:
This works both in normal markdown files and in Markdown cells inside notebooks.
