Subject: History of the math syntax
Date: Fri, 20 May 2022 09:06:22 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87pmk88xxr.fsf@zeitkraut.de> (raw)
GitHub recently introduced support for the `$`/`$$` Markdown math
syntax: <https://github.blog/2022-05-19-math-support-in-markdown/>
This made me wonder when and how this TeX syntax made its way into
Markdown. I tried to dig through the history of old projects like pandoc
and MultiMarkdown, but didn't get very far. All I could find is that
pandoc has been supporting TeX math syntax for at least 15 years.
Maybe someone here can satisfy my curiosity?
