MathJax Syntax for Markdown
In your Markdown content, use \\(
…\\)
delimiters for in-line mathematics.
For mathematics blocks you can use either $$
…$$
or \\[
…\\]
as delimiters.
Here’s an example Markdown content:
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} \\]
Output:
When \( a \ne 0 \), there are two solutions to
$$ ax^2 + bx + c = 0 $$
and they are:
\[x = {-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} \over 2a}\]
Customize MathJax Configuration
You can customize the default behavior of MathJax if you want.
Minimo picks up configuration for MathJax from the /data/config/mathjax.json
file.
The default configuration options look like this:
{
"library": {
"path": "//unpkg.com/mathjax/MathJax.js",
"config": "TeX-MML-AM_CHTML"
},
"config": {}
}
library
[Object
]:path
[String
]: URL for the main MathJax.js file.config
[String
]: Configuration file’s name/path
config
[Object
]:- In-line configuration options
So, if you want to tinker with it’s configuration options:
- Create a
/data/config/mathjax.json
file in your site’s repository - Copy the default configuration options
- Start hacking
For exmaple, if you want to enable $
…$
delimiters for in-line mathematics, you probably want something like this:
{
"library": {
"path": "//unpkg.com/mathjax/MathJax.js",
"config": "TeX-MML-AM_CHTML"
},
"config": {
"tex2jax": {
"inlineMath": [["$", "$"], ["\\(", "\\)"]],
"processEscapes": true
}
}
}
