One of the challenges a modern day scientist, student, teacher or any other enthusiastic problem solver faces is how to efficiently write and document scientific and technical information in the digital form. However, one's typical tool kit usually looks quite heavy and may include an editor, converter, typesetting system and other supplementing tools at the least. All of these needs to be installed, configured, learned and adapted to suit individual needs, which inevitably impairs productivity and adds unnecessary burden to the whole process.

Noting down such things as math equations, formulas, tables, diagrams, or any other non-textual information on your computer or on the web should be simple, easy, and quick. All of the above can be done with no hassle with the help of Markdown – a popular lightweight formatting syntax.  It meets all the requirements, and is one of the reason's why we have chosen to support it on P4. Without a need to download any editing software, or a converting tool, it is possible to post and share scientific and technical content one the web right away. All you need to do is to put the Markdown equation in the `math` code blocks, such as below:

    ```math
    e = \lim_{n\to\infty}\left(1+\frac{1}{n}\right)^n
    ```
The output for the above Euler's equation would look like this:

```math
e = \lim_{n\to\infty}\left(1+\frac{1}{n}\right)^n
```]]></content:encoded>

No need to take screenshots to post math, simply put [KaTex](https://khan.github.io/KaTeX/) math notation between the code blocks ` ``` ` to display formulas, equations, symbols, and functions.

    ```katex

    ```

```katex

Publishing math texts and sharing them on the web is usually a big challenge, especially when it comes to lengthy and complex formulas and equations.

However, this could be done with no hassle on P4, and is very easy if you are already familiar with KaTex commands. You can post any expression inline (within the text) or in block (as a separate line), which is handy for big equations.

##Inline math
To add a math element in text, simply surround it by double dollar marks `$$\sqrt{x}$$`, and it will automatically convert it to look like this: $$\sqrt{x}$$.

##Block math

To add a math element in block, use either ```math``` or ```katex``` command code, like this:

    ```katex
    \cfrac{a}{1 + \cfrac{1}{b}}
    ```

```katex
\cfrac{a}{1 + \cfrac{1}{b}}
```

For those unfamiliar with KaTex, please refer to its original [documentation](https://khan.github.io/KaTeX/function-support.html) to view the syntax for all possible math elements.]]></content:encoded>
