Writing markdown notes related to Finance topics requires massive use of mathematical formula. Instead of seeking around, I archieve all the useful notes.

Formatting Commands

Inline Formatting Commands

These format only a little bit of text at a time. Because they only affect a small amount of text, these commands are a single command that receives the text in curly braces ({ and }) afterwards. Some important examples we will use are below. To show what they do, the actual command is used on the text in curly braces.

  • \textbf{}
  • \textit{}
  • \underline{}

\begin…\end Formatting Commands (Also Called Environments )

When a large amount of text is formatted at one time with a command, it is easier to not have to contain it within brackets. This is why some format- ting commands have two pairs of commands: \begin{format command} and \end{format command}. Think of them as the left and right curly braces of the in-line formatting commands. Anything between a \begin and \end with the same format command will be formatted.
