    "If you type letters between two sets of dollar signs, they will be interpreted as mathematics.  For example typing `$\\Delta$` will result in a $\\Delta$ symbol.  If you don't include the dollar signs, you just get \\Delta.  If you want the equation to sit on its own line, use two sets of dollar signs like `$$\\Delta$$` and you get \n",
