MathJax

MathJax only supports the subset of \(\LaTeX\) used to describe mathematical notation.

• Setup
  • Set use_math: true in the preamble of the page.
• Inline Math
  • [text] \\(...\\) [text]
    • double-backslash is necessary because kramdown treats \ as an escape character
• Display Math
  • [newline] $$...$$ [newline]
  • [newline] \\[...\\] [newline]

• Example

  When \\(a \ne 0\\), there are two solutions to \\(ax^2 + bx + c = 0\\) and they are
\\[x = {-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} \over 2a}.\\]

• Result

  When \(a \ne 0\), there are two solutions to \(ax^2 + bx + c = 0\) and they are \[x = {-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} \over 2a}.\]
