Constellate User GuideLaTeX
If a Markdown cell is followed by a Markdown cell that has the #constellate: latex directive in it, that second cell will be rendered and shown in the side panel. As the name suggests, this is primarily intended to allow for displaying equations on the right without breaking the flow of the document.1
As an example, to the right I have a fairly famous equation. It's a bit long to include in the middle of this text, but it's nice as a side panel. Note there are custom Constellate LaTeX commands that color the output: these can be used to easily reference something, like the determinant .
- Without the directive, Constellate sees a Markdown cell followed by a Markdown cell and will render a pure Markdown star. Although this is intended for LaTeX output, you can use this directive to render any kind of Markdown content side-by-side.↩
