Examples

Example: <men> with Latex input

The sample code above illustrates the use of Latex within an <men> component to render centered, numbered mathematical display text.


Example: <men> with nested <math> content

In the sample code above, the <men> component is used to render centered, numbered mathematical content within a paragraph. In this case, content inside a <math> component is embedded into the Latex expressions.


Example: <men> with named mathematical content

In the sample code above, the named mathematical <function> components are defined in a <setup> block and referenced within the <men> component. This function is then evalutated at the angle defined as a <number> named angle1 with $$f($angle1).
