Enter mathematics formulas using TeX/LaTeX notation between jsMath delimiters.
 
  +
#REDIRECT[[Help:Entering mathematics]]
The jsMath delimiters are <code class="tex2math_ignore"><nowiki><math>...</math></nowiki></code> for inline math, and <code class="tex2math_ignore"><nowiki><dmath>...</dmath></nowiki></code> for display math.
 
 
For example:
 
<p></p>
 
<table border="1"><tbody>
 
<tr class="tex2math_ignore">
 
<td valign="top"><code>Consider the expression
 
<nowiki><math>\int_0^\pi \frac{1}{x^2+1} \, ds</math></nowiki>.</code>
 
</td>
 
<td valign="top"><code>Consider the following expression:
 
<nowiki><dmath>\int_0^\pi \frac{1}{x^2+1} \, ds</dmath></nowiki></code>
 
</td>
 
</tr>
 
<tr>
 
<td valign="top">will <math>\int_0^\pi \frac{1}{x^2+1} \, ds</math> in line.
 
</td>
 
<td valign="top">will display <dmath>\int_0^\pi \frac{1}{x^2+1} \, ds</dmath> in a separate line and larger type
 
</td>
 
</tr> </tbody>
 
</table>
 
<div class="tex2math_ignore"> To print the markup language as is surround it with: &lt;nowiki&gt;<math>...</math>&lt;nowiki&gt;
 
to get <nowiki> <math>...</math> </nowiki>.
 
 
To cause jsMath to ignore a <code class="tex2math_ignore"><math>...</math></code> or <code class="tex2math_ignore"><dmath>...</dmath></code> section, enclose the section in an HTML element with class <code>tex2math_ignore</code>. This can be a &lt;div&gt; or a &lt;span&gt; or whatever you like. jsMath always ignores delimiters that occur within &lt;pre&gt; tags.</p>
