LaTeX maths ($…$ or $$…$$) renders as literal dollar signs
What you are seeing
My LaTeX maths ($…$ or $$…$$) renders as literal dollar signs.
#Why it happens
There is no math or LaTeX plugin in the markdown pipeline.
#What to do
Use a tikz diagram fence to typeset maths.
#Limits that apply here
Limit | Value | What happens |
|---|---|---|
Large-document scroll mode | 500,000 characters | Past this the document macro shows '⚠️ Large content detected. Rendering in scrollable mode.' and renders inside a fixed 1200px-high scroll box instead of inline. |
#A few things that catch people out
The link icon in the bordered header never renders: it is gated on a comparison that can never be true (the stored value is the URL string, not the literal 'url').
There is no math/LaTeX support anywhere in the pipeline.

Mermaid diagram works in mermaid.js elsewhere but fails or looks different here
Diagrams are rendered server-side by Kroki, not by the browser mermaid library, so syntax
We configured a self-hosted diagram renderer but markdown diagrams still go through Capable
The self-hosted renderer path is currently disabled by a hard kill switch.
Everything else
The rest of this family.
Found it? Good.
