0006 ## DISCOUNT
0007
0008 DISCOUNT is a implementation of Markdown markup language ([link](https://github.com/Orc/discount)).
0009
0010 The version included here provides two additional patches:
0011
0012 * Better LaTeX support: `$` math delimiter and `mkd_e_latex` callback (https://github.com/Orc/discount/pull/214)
0013
0014 * Better recognition of the mathematical expressions between $...$, $$...$$

0017 ## preview.sty
0018 This file provides the LaTeX style 'preview' ([link](https://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/preview)).
0019
0020 The main purpose of the preview package is the extraction of selected
0021 elements from a LaTeX source, like formulas or graphics, into separate
0022 pages of a DVI file.  A flexible and convenient interface allows it to
0023 specify what commands and constructs should be extracted.  This works
0024 with DVI files postprocessed by either Dvips and Ghostscript or
0025 dvipng, but it also works when you are using PDFTeX for generating PDF
0026 files.
0027
0028 This package is used for the rendering of mathematical LaTeX expressions embedded in Cantor's worksheet.
