# MathJax Support
mdBook supports math equations through [MathJax](https://www.mathjax.org/).
mdBook has optional support for math equations through [MathJax](https://www.mathjax.org/).
**However the normal method for indication math equations with `$$` does not work (yet?).**
To enable MathJax, you need to add the `mathjax-support` key to your `book.toml` under the `output.html` section.
To indicate an inline equation \\( \int x = \frac{x^2}{2} \\) use
```
\\( \int x = \frac{x^2}{2} \\)
```toml
[output.html]
mathjax-support = true
```
To indicate a block equation
>**Note:**
The usual delimiters MathJax uses are not yet supported. You can't currently use `$$ ... $$` as delimiters and the `\[ ... \]` delimiters need an extra backslash to work. Hopefully this limitation will be lifted soon.
### Inline equations
Inline equations are delimited by `\\[` and `\\]`. So for example, to render the following inline equation \\( \int x dx = \frac{x^2}{2} + C \\) you would write the following:
```
\\( \int x dx = \frac{x^2}{2} + C \\)
```
### Block equations
Block equations are delimited by `\\[` and `\\]`. To render the following equation
\\[ \mu = \frac{1}{N} \sum_{i=0} x_i \\]
use
you would write:
```bash
\\[ \mu = \frac{1}{N} \sum_{i=0} x_i \\]
