Prevent Jekyll’s MathJax Engine from Identifying Dollar Symbol as a Delimiter of an Inline Equation
Dec. 09, 2024
| The way of typing dollar symbol | Display | Markdown file (in Typora) | Jekyll (kramdown + MathJax) |
|---|---|---|---|
between $10 and $20 |
between $10 and $20 | Delimiter of inline equation | Delimiter of inline equation |
between \$10 and \$20 |
between $10 and $20 | Dollar symbol | Delimiter of inline equation |
between $10 and $20 |
between $10 and $20 | Dollar symbol | $ |
between $10 and $20 |
between $10 and $20 | Dollar symbol | Delimiter of inline equation |
between \\$10 and \\$201 |
between \$10 and \$20 | Delimiter of inline equation | Dollar symbol |
between <span>$</span>10 and <span>$</span>201 |
between $10 and $20 | Delimiter of inline equation | Dollar symbol |
As shown, to prevent Jekyll’s MathJax engine from identifying dollar symbol as a delimiter of an inline equation, we can use the last two methods, although they would otherwise make an inline equation in the Markdown file (at least in Typora).
