Guide to displaying mathematics

Options for including mathematics on your website include:

The Nift documentation covers how to display $\LaTeX$ on your websites using MathJax. Repeating the information on this page, using MathJax on your site is as simple as adding the following code to the head of each page:

							<!-- uses MathJax CDC for LaTeX support
see http://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/start.html for more info -->
<script type="text/x-mathjax-config">
MathJax.Hub.Config
({
extensions: ["tex2jax.js"],
jax: ["input/TeX", "output/HTML-CSS"],
tex2jax:
{
inlineMath: [['$','$'], ['\$$','\$$']],
displayMath: [ ['$$','$$'], ["\$","\$"] ],
processEscapes: true
},
"HTML-CSS": { availableFonts: ["MathJax TeX"] }
});
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="https://cdn.mathjax.org/mathjax/latest/MathJax.js">
</script>


You should then be able to paste $\LaTeX$ equations straight into content files. both \$..\$ and /(../) work for inline equations, and both \$\$..\$\$ and /[../] work for displayed equations. Eg. When $$a \ne 0$$, there are two solutions to $$ax^2 + bx + c = 0$$ and they are: $x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

If you want to insert a dollar sign on a page, as opposed to opening/closing an inline equation, use \\\\$ and MathJax will escape the character.

Note: if you are opening a page locally and are not connected to the internet then MathJax will not load, you will simply see the unprocessed LaTeX equations.
