I’ll be more careful about that in the futre

````julia-auto
#this is my document

# Part 1 is about Julia chunks

```Julia
x=1
print(x)

````

#notice that this chunk doesn’t work, it should be

```julia
x=1
print(x)

```

# Part 2 is on LaTex. This is a heading.

## This is a subheading of stuff that works

\textbf{This is not bold text}

This is some text.\textbf{This is some bold text.} \underline{This is underlined text, that is italicized for some reason}

```julia-auto
As you can see I am able to accuratly use Julia chunks, so long as I don't capitalize Julia (julia) and I can use LaTex, if it's surrounded by $.
```

You can’t use syntax like `\textbf` in markdown. It’s a latex-only syntax, unlike `$$` which exists in both latex and markdown.

Did you solve your original problem? Can you run code in julia markdown in VS code?

Yes you did. I see what you mean about latex code, I think there are add ons, but I’m not in need of that now.
