Reference: MathJAX Macros table - macros start with \.
Github Markdown allows a limited subset of MathJAX and no MathJAX extensions can be used.
But in static site generators, extensions can be installed using <script> tag.
Inline expressions are written within $ $, block expressions within $$ $$.
Curly Brackets { } are required for grouping multiple symbols where otherwise only a single character/symbol is expected
- eg. after
_(superscript under) and^(power/subscript over).
