+There are multiple ways how to format the text content of your game. Notably Markdown with KaTeX.
+
+# Escaping
+Generally, if you add text inside quotes `" "` (e.g. in `Hint`) you need to escape
+backslashes, but if you provide text inside a doc comment
+`/-- -/` (e.g. in the `Statement` description) you do not!
+
+This means for example you'd write `/-- $\iff$ -/` but `"$\\iff$"`.
+
+Furthermore, inside `Hint` you need to escape all opening curly brackets as `\{` since `{h}` is syntax for inserting a variable name `h`.
+
+# KaTeX
+
+LaTeX syntax is provided trough the [KaTeX library](https://katex.org). KateX supports most but not all of latex and its packages.
+See [supported](https://katex.org/docs/supported.html).
+
+## Examples
+
+### Commutative diagrams
+
+Here is an example of how to write a commutative diagram in KaTeX:
+
+$$
+\begin{CD}
+      A  @>{f}>> B @<{g}<< C    \\
+  @V{h}VV    @V{i}VV   @V{j}VV \\
+      D  @<{k}<< E @>{l}>> F    \\
+  @A{m}AA    @A{n}AA   @V{p}VV \\
+      G  @<{q}<< H @>{r}>> I
+\end{CD}
+$$
+
+```
+$$
+\begin{CD}
+      A  @>{f}>> B @<{g}<< C    \\
+  @V{h}VV    @V{i}VV   @V{j}VV \\
+      D  @<{k}<< E @>{l}>> F    \\
+  @A{m}AA    @A{n}AA   @V{p}VV \\
+      G  @<{q}<< H @>{r}>> I
+\end{CD}
+$$
+```
+
+Again, note that inside a string like `Hint`/`Introduction`/`Conclusion`/etc. you need to escape `\` and potentially `{`.
+
+E.g. `\begin` as `\\begin`, `\\` as `\\\\` and inside a
+`Hint`, `@>{f}>>` as `@>\{f}>>`.
+
+See https://www.jmilne.org/not/Mamscd.pdf
+
+### Truth Tables
+
+KaTeX does not support the tabular environment. You can use the array environment instead.
+
+$$
+\begin{array}{|c|c|}
+  \hline
+  P & ¬P \\
+  \hline
+  T & F  \\
+  F & T  \\
+  \hline
+\end{array}

+
+```
+$$
