I’d like to make a matrix with LaTeX’s amsmath package in Documenter. I found [this bit on MkDocs and MathJax](https://juliadocs.github.io/Documenter.jl/v0.13/man/latex/#MkDocs-and-MathJax-1), but I’m not sure how to manipulate python.

Could anyone help me out or direct me to a more in-depth tutorial?

Your link is to a very old version of the Documenter docs.

The current (0.24) version uses KaTeX for the HTML backend. This handles a lot of `amsmath` syntax already. Can you post an example that does not work?

Thanks!! Referencing the latest documentation for Documenter helped. (Who’d’a thought? 🙃) I was trying to do something like this:

```julia

$\begin{bmatrix} ... \end{bmatrix}$

```

Using ```math instead of $ made it work.
