Mathlang Syntax

all base functions, greek letters, and other symboled words can be used directly, without a backslash.

for example:

sin^2 theta + cos^2 theta = 1

would get changed into:

\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1

Two types of fonts have been made available through the use of double-letter syntax (currently a little WIP).

Doubling a capital letter changes it to \mathbb{<letter>}:

RR

Which translated to:

\mathbb{R}

Then there is calligraphy done with:

Pcal

to get:

\mathcal{P}

(this isn't very orthogonal and thus may change soon)

Most logic symbols based on arrows and equals have been given a new syntax:

<=>, =>, ~=, !=, -=, >=, <=, ->, |->,

becomes

\iff, \implies, \approx, \neq, \equiv, \ge, \le, \to, \mapsto

instead of using \hat, \dot, \overline ... etc. use the following:

u^{->}, {AB}^{_}, f^{.}, k^{^}, ...

which gives

\overrightarrow{u}, \overline{AB}, \dot{f}, \hat{k}
