TSE: How to write very simple MarkDown text + Latex mathematical formulas tex and show it in your web browser?

[knud van eeden]

Hello,

FYIO:

1. Write your text in TSE

2. At the bottom add this line:

<!-- Markdeep: --><style class="fallback">body{visibility:hidden;white-space:pre;font-family:monospace}</style><script src="markdeep.min.js"></script><script src="https://casual-effects.com/markdeep/1.13/markdeep.min.js?"></script><script>window.alreadyProcessedMarkdeep||(document.body.style.visibility="visible")</script>

3. Save it with the extension .md.html

4. Load it in your web browser (e.g. Google Chrome)

5. Example:

**Example**

Welcome to Markdeep. It is the simple

way to write plain text with _style_.

*************************************

*                _______            *

*           |          |            *

*            '--------'             *

*************************************

1. Write a text document

2. Add the Markdeep line at the end

3. Save with file extension `.md.html`

4. Double-click to view

$ x = 3 * y $

$ \left( \nabla a\cdot \nabla b\right) \cdot \dfrac{\partial z}{\partial x}\cdot \dfrac{\partial x}{\partial y} $

<!-- Markdeep: --><style class="fallback">body{visibility:hidden;white-space:pre;font-family:monospace}</style><script src="markdeep.min.js"></script><script src="https://casual-effects.com/markdeep/1.13/markdeep.min.js?"></script><script>window.alreadyProcessedMarkdeep||(document.body.style.visibility="visible")</script>

6. Note: You might have to add the MarkDeep web site 

https://casual-effects.com

to the exclude list in your anti-virus software.

with friendly greetings

Hello,

FYIO:

1. Highlight your block of (MarkDown and or Latex $...$) text 

2. Run this TSE program (all 1-liners)

3. That will start a browser with the result shown.
