LaTeX markup language

In many pages on this website, I use LaTeX to write the mathematical equations in the posted documents. LaTeX is one of two major languages to represent mathematics in documents. The other common alternative is MathML. Apple's Pages (like other word processors and equation editors) allows you to use either. I have adopted LaTeX. The two languages have overlap, but were developed for different purposes. MathML is a language for embedding mathematical content in XHTM. On the other hand, LaTeX was designed as a markup language used in document typesetting. I use LaTeX in both Pages and Jupyter Notebook markup documentation.In the markdown language for Jupyter Notebook (see Python) you use the same markup, but each equation or expression must be surrounded by dollar signs. Here are a couple of other good references:
