How is math notation handled?

Math notation is preserved as-is, as both Markdown and LaTeX typically use $...$ for inline math and $$...$$ for display math.

Does it handle LaTeX special characters?

Yes, the skill automatically escapes characters like &, %, $, #, _, {, and } in text content to prevent compilation errors.

Can I use this for code blocks?

Yes, Markdown code blocks are converted into LaTeX verbatim environments to ensure code formatting remains intact.

Can I convert an entire Markdown file at once?

Absolutely. You can use the --file flag to specify an input file and the --output flag to save the resulting LaTeX directly to a .tex file.

Are Markdown tables supported in the conversion?

No, tables are not automatically converted because Markdown tables do not have a single direct equivalent in LaTeX without specific packages.
