Markdown Files with LaTeX \(\beta\) \(\alpha\)

Whether you write your book’s content in Jupyter Notebooks (.ipynb) or in regular markdown files (.md), you’ll write in the same flavor of markdown called MyST Markdown. This is a simple file to help you get started and show off some syntax.

What is MyST?

MyST stands for “Markedly Structured Text”. It is a slight variation on a flavor of markdown called “CommonMark” markdown, with small syntax extensions to allow you to write roles and directives in the Sphinx ecosystem.

For more about MyST, see the MyST Markdown Overview.
