Inserting math expressions

This section is an essential guide to the main LateX commands and environments useful for writing math in WikiToLearn. For further documentation please visit https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Mathematics

Math tags

There are two different math tags that can be used to insert math formulas into your document. Both are based off the LaTeX commands.

The math tag

This tag is used to insert inline math. Example:

Here is some nice math. $y=f(x)$$y=f(x)$ There you go.

Syntax:

Here is some nice math. <math>y=f(x)</math> There you go

Block math

In order to have math be displayed with block formatting (on it's own line, and is centered), use the display=block attribute in the <math> tag. Example:

Here is some nice math.

$$y=f(x)$$

$$y=f(x)$$

There you go.

Syntax:

Here is some nice math. <math display=block>y=f(x)</math> There you go.
