I would like to use latex expression of chemarr for gitbook
format of bookdown package.
\begin{equation}
[C] + [R]
\xrightleftharpoons[k_{-1}]{k_1}
[CR] + [C]
\xrightleftharpoons[k_{-2}]{k_2}
[C2R]
(\#eq:multiplebinding)
\end{equation}
For PDF format, there is no problem of displaying the equation.
On the other hand, for gitbook format there is an error message.
It's mainly because I cannot define the following yaml header for gitbook
format.
header-includes:
- \usepackage{chemarr}
Is there a way to use latex expression of chemarr for gitbook
format of bookdown package? If it's impossible, is there a way to use include_graphics
function and add equation numbering (say, 19.16 in this example)?
Yihui Xie already gave a good hint to the solution:
Put this code into your document (where you want the equation to appear):
$$
\require{mhchem}
\begin{equation}
[C] + [R]
\xrightleftharpoons[k_{-1}]{k_1}
[CR] + [C]
\xrightleftharpoons[k_{-2}]{k_2}
[C2R]
(\#eq:multiplebinding)
\end{equation}
$$
Needs to use the arrow of mhchem
instead of chemarr
since only the first is part of MathJax. But I think it should anyway be basically the same.
This method should work for all Latex commands supported by MathJax (http://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/input/tex/macros/index.html).
