Wondering about whether LATEX can be used to draw chemical structures {which is indeed possible} , I found THIS.
And then I tried "\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.
