The site (and most other stackexchange sites where such is appropriate) use the exact same implementation of MathJax for Latex markup. Basically, just enclose tex within $ (inline) or $$ (set apart equations). Most basic commands work, like \frac and \sin .
How do you align equations in MathJax?
Aligned equations To get this, use \begin{align}… \end{align} . Each line should end with \\ , and should contain an ampersand at the point to align at, typically immediately before the equals sign. The usual $$ marks that delimit the display may be omitted here.
Is LaTeX like HTML?
Of course the two languages are not exactly comparable. HTML targets a web browser while LaTeX targets paper. HTML would be much simpler if people only used it to create documents to print out on their own printer. The two languages are not simply two systems of markup; they address different problems.
How do you hyperlink in LaTeX?
You can add a hyperlink into your LaTeX article using the command sepackage{hyperref} and then including the command \href{YOUR URL}{TEXT FOR YOUR HYPERLINK}.
Is there a difference between MathJax and latex?
No. MathJax isn’t LaTeX; it processes input that is LaTeX-like (as close as it reasonably can be to true LaTeX), but the way it works under the hood is very different. One difference in particular is that MathJax only implements the math-mode macros, not all the other text-mode or general processing macros and control sequences.
How does MathJax work in a web browser?
MathJax is a cross-browser JavaScript library that displays mathematical notation in web browsers, using MathML, LaTeX and ASCIIMathML markup. That means that MathJax is a software that works in your browser on some text which is marked up using different techniques. One of them is a LaTeX-like notation.
How does the TeX input processor work in MathJax?
The TeX input processor handles conversion of your mathematical notation into MathJax’s internal format (which is essentially MathML), and so acts as a TeX to MathML converter. The TeX input processor can also be customized through the use of extensions that define additional functionality (see the TeX and LaTeX extensions section).
How do I enable TeX extensions in MathJax?
To enable any of the TeX extensions, simply add the appropriate string (e.g., “AMSmath.js”) to the extensions array in the TeX block of your configuration.
