+== STEM Notation Support
+
+We have set up the Ref Guide to be able to support STEM notation whenever it's needed.
+
+The http://asciimath.org/[AsciiMath] syntax is supported by default, but LaTeX syntax is also available.
+
+To insert a mathematical formula inline with your text, you can simply write:
+
+[source]
+----
+stem:[a//b]
+----
+
+MathJax.js will render the formula as proper mathematical notation when a user loads the page.
+When the above example is converted to HTML, it will look like this to a user: stem:[a//b]
+
+To insert LaTeX, preface the formula with `latexmath` instead of `stem`:
+
+[source]
+----
+latexmath:[tp \leq 1 - (1 - sim^{rows})^{bands}]
+----
+
+Long formulas, or formulas which should to be set off from the main text, can use the block syntax prefaced by `stem` or `latexmath`:
+
+[source]
+----
+[stem]
+++++
+sqrt(3x-1)+(1+x)^2 < y
+++++
+----
+
+or for LaTeX:
+
+[source]
+----
+[latexmath]
+++++
+[tp \leq 1 - (1 - sim^{rows})^{bands}]
+++++
+----
