The following math environments are defined for inline style math:
 
* <code><nowiki>$...$</nowiki></code> (can be turned off, even per page),
 
* <code>\(...\)</code> and
 
* <code>&lt;math&gt;...&lt;/math&gt;</code>.
 
And the following math environments are defined for display style math:
 
* <code><nowiki>$$...$$</nowiki></code> (can be turned off, even per page),
 
* <code>\[...\]</code>,
 
* <code>\begin{...}...\end{...}</code> and
 
* <code>:&lt;math&gt;...&lt;/math&gt;</code>.
 
MathJax produces nice and scalable mathematics, see their website (http://www.mathjax.org/) for a demonstration. This extension also enables the usage of <code>\label{}</code> and <code>\eqref{}</code> tags with automatic formula numbering. If needed you can still hand label by using <code>\tag{}</code>.
