Latex support on this website
This website uses MathJax, a JavaScript library able to compile and render latex live in your browser. The syntax is fully explained here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/mathjax-latex/. Briefly:
-
display style
formulas can be obtained as in the standard latex syntax by typing them between double dollars or escaped square brackets ($$ ... $$
or\[ ... \]
); inline style
formulas use the slightly non-standard syntax$latex ... $
or\( ... \)
.
Examples:
$latex e^{i\pi} + 1 = 0$
is rendered as $latex e^{i\pi} + 1 = 0$;-
\(\int_0^1 x dx = \frac12\)
is rendered as \(\int_0^1 x dx = \frac12 \); - finally
$$\|z\| = 0$$
is rendered as $$\|z\| = 0.$$
You can freely use mathematical formulas in comments and posts.
