Quatro for amsmath LaTeX users
tldr; For LaTeX users wanting complex math in both html and PDF: 1) Don’t mix Quarto equation and amsmath syntax. Stick with amsmath. 2) Add a mathjax.html file and add to your top yaml to turn-on equation numbering and only use LaTeX equation environments (not $$). 2) For referencing, only use \label{} and \eqref{} or \ref{}. Do not use (#eq-) and @eq- for cross-refs. Pandoc (and MathJax) knows LaTeX so all your fancy equations should work if you do 1 and 2.
Preface
These are notes for those creating a Quarto book that they want to display and html and PDF formats. Those only needing Word format, sorry not sure that works as of July 2023; I have not tested since then.
To do
- Adding equations that look like
3.1so with the chapter numbering. We need this in Quarto books. MathJax tagformat looks like the way to go. - Going forward, I think we might need a lua filter for LaTeX docs. Perhaps this already exists? Like, we should have to re-write a basic LaTeX doc that has
\section{abs}. We should be able to include our LaTeX chapters (chap1.tex) directly in the Quarto books and have standard LaTeX code with R or Python code mixed in.

Please put in a pull request and add more examples. Also Quarto keeps updating so these notes will get out of date. I used Quarto 1.5.55 and output from pandoc --version is
pandoc 2.19
