The plugin does not provide any syntax documentation
by glgeorgiou·2 years ago

I instaled and tried to use this plugin. I visits all provided urls by searching the documetation on how can i use the math formulas into the inline syntax that the plugin requires. Unfortunatelly i did not find anything usefull for a simple user, only for developers.

Excellent
by javcardenas·3 years ago

Thank you!!
