Instrucciones de Uso de la Extensión

Renders LaTeX math formulas in Slack.
Similar to the Chrome extension math-with-slackb, except this plugin uses
the KaTeX library instead of MathJax for better compatibility with the
latest version of Slack.

Usage instructions:
Mostly works like standard LaTeX.

Default delimiters are as follows (this avoids issues with dollar signs being used for other purposes):

Inline math:
$ .. $
$$ .. $$

Display math:
\[ .. \]
$$$ .. $$$

Alternatively, in the options of the extension one can also choose to work with the usual LaTeX delimiters:

Inline math:
$ .. $
$ .. $

Display math:
\[ .. \]
$$ .. $$

Newlines in formulas can be inserted with \newline. Double backslash \\ is ignored.

Blackboard bold letter shorthands:
\R is short for \mathbb{R}
\N is short for \mathbb{N}
\Z is short for \mathbb{Z}

Troubleshooting:
1.
Slack uses _ for _italics_ and * for *boldface*. This can interfere with your LaTeX formatting if your message
has multiple underscores or asterisks in it.
The developers of Slack are not big on having a consistent way to escape these special characters, but you can try:
a) escaping using two backslashes: $$\bar\chi^{\\*}\\_W$$
A single backslash is interpreted by the LaTeX rendering library as part of a command, but two of them will be ignored.
b) putting spaces around it: $$\bar\chi^ * _ W$$

2.
Sometimes Slack does something funny to double space " " making the plugin unable to recognize a piece of LaTeX
that contains it, like $$\R $$.
