As a new user, I want to display multiple-line math equations with double dollar signs, as follows
$$
a\\
b
$$
It is supported in many markdown editors, typora, quiver, leannote…
instead of using align envieronemnt.
Following is also not supported.
\[
a\\
b
\]
It’s currently supported, are you sure you didn’t forget a dollar sign? Because for me it currently works with this:
$$
a\\
b
$$
Have you tried Reading view?
If you want a fraction, it’s like this :
$$
\frac{a}{b}
$$
thank you. but it is not a fraction, it is an two-line equation
Yes. Both reading view and editing view
PS: OS = MacOS10.15; Obsidian = latest
So I really don’t understand what you’re trying to achieve. Can you show a picture of what you would expect to have ?
Here are two variants for showing multi-line equations using MathJax within Obsidian:
$$
\begin{matrix}
E = mc^2 \\
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
\end{matrix}
$$
Or alternatively, if you want them aligned on the equal sign (or similar):
$$
\begin{eqnarray}
E &=& mc^2 \\
a^2 + b^2 &=& c^2
\end{eqnarray}
$$
These will show as:
Notice the difference in the latter that here they’re aligned on the equal sign ( or more precisely what’s inbetween the ampersands, &, in the text).
If you’re interested, see also mathjax - How to create multi-line equation blocks in GitHub? - Stack Overflow for some more related informations (although I’m not entirely sure all of that applies for the rendition of MathJax that Obsidian implements, but I believe it’s quite close).
