Formatting Tools Available in O3DE Documentation

The Open 3D Engine (O3DE) website includes support for the following tools that can assist with the specialized formatting needs of some O3DE documentation.

Mathematical formulas in TeX and MathML

You can embed mathematical formulas using TeX and MathML input formats. Refer to the MathJax documentation for more information on how to use the MathJax version 3.0 display engine.

Example Usage

$$\left( \sum_{k=1}^n a_k b_k \right)^2 \leq \left( \sum_{k=1}^n a_k^2 \right) \left( \sum_{k=1}^n b_k^2 \right)$$

Example Output

Diagrams using Mermaid

You can create a variety of diagrams and other visualizations from within Markdown code blocks that will render using the Mermaid diagram tool. Refer to the Mermaid documentation to learn about the various supported diagram types and their usage syntax.

Example: Flowchart

```mermaid
graph TD;
    A-->B;
    A-->C;
    B-->D;
    C-->D;
```

Output

Example: UML Class Diagram

```mermaid
classDiagram
    Animal <|-- Duck
    Animal <|-- Fish
    Animal <|-- Zebra
    Animal : +int age
    Animal : +String gender
    Animal: +isMammal()
    Animal: +mate()
    class Duck{
        +String beakColor
        +swim()
        +quack()
    }
    class Fish{
        -int sizeInFeet
        -canEat()
    }
    class Zebra{
        +bool is_wild
        +run()
    }
```
