Mathematical notation

·1 min

KaTeX can be used to render mathematical notation within articles.

Inline notation #

Inline notation can be generated by wrapping the expression in \\( and \\) delimiters.

Example:

% KaTeX inline notation
Inline notation: \\(\varphi = \dfrac{1+\sqrt5}{2}= 1.6180339887…\\)

Inline notation: \(\varphi = \dfrac{1+\sqrt5}{2}= 1.6180339887…\)

Block notation #

Alternatively, block notation can be generated using $$ delimiters. This will output the expression in its own HTML block.

Example:

% KaTeX block notation
$$
 \varphi = 1+\frac{1} {1+\frac{1} {1+\frac{1} {1+\cdots} } }
$$

$$ \varphi = 1+\frac{1} {1+\frac{1} {1+\frac{1} {1+\cdots} } } $$
