you can do both, the normal markdown way: `$a$` squared is `$a^2$`, which is good to know for the pythagorean theorem: ```equation a^2+b^2\eq c^2 ```

- IshKebab 4y agoThat doesn't work because then how do you display $a$ as literal inline code?
- runarberg 4y agoWhat about: Inline code is ` $a$ ` automatically trimmed But I think $`a+b`$ makes more sense (or even $$a+b$$; I mean this is markdown after all, not LaTeX).
- JadeNB 4y ago> But I think $`a+b`$ makes more sense (or even $$a+b$$; I mean this is markdown after all, not LaTeX). True, but it is TeX notation, and `$$ $$` for inline math goes deeply against the experienced TeXnician's intuition. Why intentionally use notation that violates some users' domain intuition when there's an alternative that's no worse?
- ly 4y agoAh yes, agreed, then that does indeed seem like to optimal solution here.
