Enter mathematics formulas using TeX/LaTeX notation between jsMath delimiters. The jsMath delimiters are ![math]...![/math] for inline math, and ![dmath]...![/dmath] for display math. For example:

<tbody> </tbody>
Consider the expression
       <math>\int_0^\pi \frac{1}{x^2+1} \, ds</math>.
Consider the following expression: <dmath>\int_0^\pi \frac{1}{x^2+1} \, ds</dmath>
will [math]\int_0^\pi \frac{1}{x^2+1} \, ds[/math] in line. will display <dmath>\int_0^\pi \frac{1}{x^2+1} \, ds</dmath> in a separate line and larger type
To print the markup language as is surround it with: <nowiki>[math]...[/math]<nowiki>

to get <math>...</math> .

To cause jsMath to ignore a [math]...[/math] or <dmath>...</dmath> section, enclose the section in an HTML element with class tex2math_ignore. This can be a <div> or a <span> or whatever you like. jsMath always ignores delimiters that occur within <pre> tags.
