Question

I had posted in LaTeX --- probably should post here:
MathJax uses a TeX/LaTeX syntax, and is designed for doing math-on-the-web... can we use it for the math questions/answers on this site? If not, is it in the list of upgrades? Here's documentation (it's a big page):

Here's the MathJax page:

Thanks!

Answer 1

\[\text{Don't we already do?}\]

Answer 2

\(\Huge \bf \color{#FF00FD}{♫♪} \color{#A3ff00} {~~THIS}\)
\(\Huge \bf \color{#7500ff} {~~~~~~~~~~~IS}\)
\(\Huge \bf \color{#00CFff} {~~~~~~~~\LaTeX}\color{#FF00FD}{~~♫♪}\)
:D

Answer 3

I thought we already do - as mod said. Machida, can you try this on a PC/Chrome?

Answer 4

Yes I can Madam preetha.

Answer 5

or are you asking for latex update?

Answer 6

I think he hasnt checked it yet Modphy. :)

@OneMathCat check this one :)

Answer 7

or you can use

Answer 8

[\]

Answer 9

Our for inline \(\LaTeX\) use `\( math goes here\)`. So `\(\LaTeX\)` makes \(\LaTeX\) inline with what you are typing.

Answer 10

\(\backepsilon\) `\backepsilon` works, so AMSsymbols are installed. \(\binom{n}{k}\) `\(\binom{n}{k}\)` works so AMSmath is installed. \(\frac{\cancel{x+1}}{2\cancel{(x+1)}}\) `\(\frac{\cancel{x+1}}{2\cancel{(x+1)}}\)` works so that document is outdated (says cancel does not work).

\(\ddot \smile\) Have fun! And you can actually right click any math element to Show the TeX Commands used to make it.

Answer 11

Okay!! It DOES work! Fantastic!
Single dollar signs don't work: $\frac ab$ but double-dollar signs DO WORK:
$$x = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$$
(I'm used to single dollar signs for inline, and double for centered math.)
Thanks, everybody!

Answer 12

@e.mccormick
I fixed the "\cancel" entry in
http://www.onemathematicalcat.org/MathJaxDocumentation/TeXSyntax.htm
and re-uploaded to the server. Many thanks for pointing out that error.

Answer 13

put a \ before the dollar sign \(\huge\ddot\smile\)

\(\Huge\$\:\to\) `\( \Huge \$ \)`

Answer 14

not sure if you meant that though xD

Answer 15

@thomaster Nope. `\[ and \(` methods of \(\LaTeX\) are MathJax artifacts. The real triggers are `$ and $$`.

@OneMathCat Funny. I emailed you about it too.

Answer 16

@thomaster Oh, and her \(\LaTeX\) tutorial makes your look anemic. Did you click the page OneMathCat \(\tiny{\textrm{(Dr. Carol JVF Burns, PhD in Math and a long term math educator)}}\) linked?
