MathJax Support
mdBook has optional support for math equations through MathJax.
To enable MathJax, you need to add the mathjax-support key to your book.toml under the output.html section.
[output.html]
mathjax-support = true
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.
Note: When you use double backslashes in MathJax blocks (for example in commands such as
\begin{cases} \frac 1 2 \\ \frac 3 4 \end{cases}) you need to add two extra backslashes (e.g.,\begin{cases} \frac 1 2 \\\\ \frac 3 4 \end{cases}).
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
\[ \mu = \frac{1}{N} \sum_{i=0} x_i \]
you would write:
\\[ \mu = \frac{1}{N} \sum_{i=0} x_i \\]
