Introduction

Disclaimer: This guide is a work in progress and will be continuously updated.

This is not a comperhensive LaTeX guide. If you are already familiar with LaTeX the quick guide should be enough to get you going.

Disclaimer 2: our editor officially use KaTeX and not LaTeX. KaTeX is specifically designed to render math on the web, according to their webpage:

The fastest math typesetting library for the web.

While this mean that a lot of powerful features of LaTeX aren't supported, we consider the benefits to far outweigh the tradeoffs. After all is a place to solve exercises and not for writing papers and KaTeX is powerful enough to meet that need. KaTeX supplies all the necessary LaTeX math symbols and tools you can possibly ever require* (99% accurate). We will however continue to call everything math related as LaTeX so as to not cause unneccessary confusion.

If you aren't familiar with LaTeX there are many guides to get you started. Nevertheless, this guide will (hopefully) be enough to get you going writing mathematics.
