After installing the Math javascript extension, you can use the %%load-mathjax style at the beginning of your page to activate MathJax on a page. Then wrap your math equations inside certain delimiters (see blow) and they will be rendered visually.

Inline math#

To display inline TeX or LaTeX formulae, use escaped round brackets \( and \) or single dollar signs $:

Look ma, inline math \(P(E)   = {n \choose k} p^k (1-p)^{ n-k}\) \\
The quadratic formula is $-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} \over 2a$

LaTeX cheat sheet

Display math (presented centered on a new line)#

For larger equations separated from the rest of the text, use double dollar signs $$: also use escaped square brackets \[ but don't forget to escape the opening square bracket

Like this $$P(E) = {n \choose k} p^k (1-p)^{ n-k}$$ 

Markup blocks (separated by some blank lines)#

Use markup blocks which stand on their own with just the \begin and \end statements in order to be parsed correctly.

\begin{align*}
e^x & = 1 + x + \frac{x^2}{2} + \frac{x^3}{6} + \cdots ~\\
    & = \sum_{n\geq 0} \frac{x^n}{n!}
\end{align*}

ASCIImath #

Use backticks ` for math written in ASCIImath format.

Notes:#

• The markup of JSPWiki may interfere with the math TeX or ASCIImath language.
  • Use the tilde ˜ to escape wiki markup. (eg ˜\\ to escape the newline markup, ... ).
  • Use the double square bracket [[ to escape the start of a link.

• The MathJax libraries are dynamically loaded after loading the JSPWiki page. This may lead to a slight delay when rendering the math formulae.

• If you want the math to stand out from the other page content, you can decide to add additional css styles on the rendered formulae like this:

%%add-css
    /* Display math*/
    .MathJax_SVG_Display { background: gold; }
    /* Inline math*/
    .MathJax_SVG { background: DarkKhaki;}
/%

$$ f^{(n)}(a) = \frac{n!}{2\pi i} \oint_\gamma \frac{f(z)}{(z-a)^{n+1}}\, dz. $$
