Patterns
A pattern is a structured document containing an abstract description of a proven solution of a recurring problem. Furthermore, a pattern points to other patterns that may jointly contribute to an encompassing solution of a complex problem. This way, a network of related patterns, i.e. a pattern language , results [1].
Info
The content of a Pattern gets displayed in Markdown. For more information about the Markdown-Syntax check out the Markdown-Cheatsheet
Info
Pattern Atlas supports the input of TeX-formulas.
Inline Maths can be rendered by adding a single $ on each side of the TeX code. Block rendering can be added by surrounding the TeX with two $$.
Anything between two $ characters will be treated as TeX math. The opening $ must
have a non-space character immediately to its right, while the closing $ must
have a non-space character immediately to its left, and must not be followed
immediately by a digit. Thus, $20,000 and $30,000 won’t parse as math. If for some
reason you need to enclose text in literal $ characters, backslash-escape them and
they won’t be treated as math delimiters. 2
