A Brief Introduction to MathJax in Studio
|
|
=========================================
|
|
|
|
To write clear and professional-looking symbols and equations, we use a LaTeX-like
|
|
language called
|
|
`MathJax <http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mathjax.org%2F&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNGef2H-mZCdmCo7-kWHfu9fUGVCfg>`_.
|
|
Your MathJax equations can appear with other text in the paragraph (inline equations) or
|
|
on their own lines (display equations).
|
|
|
|
- For inline equations, you can do either of the following.
|
|
|
|
- Surround your Mathjax expression with backslashes and **parentheses**.
|
|
|
|
``\( equation \)``
|
|
|
|
- Surround your Mathjax expression with [mathjaxinline] tags. Note that these
|
|
tags use square brackets ([]).
|
|
|
|
[mathjaxinline] equation [/mathjaxinline]
|
|
|
|
- For display equations, you can do either of the following.
|
|
|
|
- Surround your Mathjax expression with backslashes and **brackets**.
|
|
|
|
``\[ equation \]``
|
|
|
|
- Surround your Mathjax expression with [mathjax] tags. Note that these tags use
|
|
square brackets ([]).
|
|
|
|
[mathjax] equation [/mathjax]
|
|
|
|
You can use MathJax in HTML (text) components and in Problem components.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: Complete MathJax documentation (together with a testing tool) can be
|
|
found at `http://www.onemathematicalcat.org/MathJaxDocumentation/TeXSyntax.htm <http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.onemathematicalcat.org%2FMathJaxDocumentation%2FTeXSyntax.htm&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNEV8PtCX6Csp0lW7lDKOLIKCOCkHg>`_.

|
HTML (Text) Components
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
In the HTML component editor, you can use MathJax both in Visual view and in HTML view.

|
|
|
Problem Components
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
In the Problem component editor, you can use MathJax both in the Simple Editor
|
|
and in the Advanced Editor.
|
|
|
|
In the example problem below, note that the Einstein equation in the
|
|
explanation is enclosed in backslashes and parentheses, so it appears inline with the text. The
|
|
Navier-Stokes equation is enclosed in backslashes and brackets, so it appears on its
|
|
own line.
