2D - Chemistry structures

Wondering about whether LaTeX\displaystyle{\LaTeX} can be used to draw chemical structures {which is indeed possible} , I found THIS. And then I tried "\chemfig4()\chemfig{*4(----)} ". But brilliant is not responding to this markdown code!
I just wanted to know the reason behind this.

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

  • Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
  • Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
  • Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
  • Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

Good question. The LaTeX package that renders these images is complex and causes a lot of problems on Brilliant for people, so we have left it disabled so far. We may enable it in the future when it stops being so buggy.
