is it possible to strike-through part of an latex equation when using jupyter notebook's markdown? example:
strike-through the denominator (11-4)! numerator 7!. I've tried using ~~(11-4)!~~ and ~(11-4)!~ which both work on their own but when use them within latex $\frac{11!}{(11-4)!4!}\frac{7!}{(7-4)!4!}$ neither work.
if it matters, I'm running in on Ubuntu. kindly advise
@osbm this is my output with the code suggest;
To be able to use the MathJax cancel extension you have to add it at the beginning of your markdown cell, like so.
$$\require{cancel}$$
$\frac{11!}{\cancel{(11-4)!}4!}\frac{\cancel{7!}}{(7!-4!)4!}$
It provides similar results to the LaTeX cancel package.
If you want more flexibility, use the MathJax enclose extension
$$\require{enclose}$$
$\frac{11!}{\enclose{horizontalstrike}{(11-4)!}4!}\frac{\enclose{horizontalstrike}{7!}}{(7!-4!)4!}$
$\frac{11!}{\enclose{verticalstrike}{(11-4)!}4!}\frac{\enclose{verticalstrike}{7!}}{(7!-4!)4!}$
$\frac{11!}{\enclose{updiagonalstrike}{(11-4)!}4!}\frac{\enclose{updiagonalstrike}{7!}}{(7!-4!)4!}$ this is similar to `\cancel`
$\frac{11!}{\enclose{downdiagonalstrike}{(11-4)!}4!}\frac{\enclose{downdiagonalstrike}{7!}}{(7!-4!)4!}$
$\frac{11!}{\enclose{updiagonalstrike, downdiagonalstrike}{(11-4)!}4!}\frac{\enclose{updiagonalstrike, downdiagonalstrike}{7!}}{(7!-4!)4!}$
The results are:
In this stackexchange post you find all the info you need.
You can use \cancel like this:
$\frac{11!}{\cancel{(11-4)!}4!}\frac{\cancel{7!}}{(7!-4!)4!}$
