Enter mathematics formulas using TeX/LaTeX notation between jsMath delimiters.
The jsMath delimiters are <code class="tex2math_ignore"><nowiki><math>...</math></nowiki></code> for inline math, and <code class="tex2math_ignore"><nowiki><dmath>...</dmath></nowiki></code> for display math.


For example:
<table border="1">
  <tr class="tex2math_ignore">
    <td valign="top"><code>Consider the expression
<nowiki><math>\int_0^\pi \frac{1}{x^2+1} \, ds</math></nowiki>.</code>
    </td>
    <td valign="top"><code>Consider the following expression:
<nowiki><dmath>\int_0^\pi \frac{1}{x^2+1} \, ds</dmath></nowiki></code>
    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td valign="top">will <math>\int_0^\pi \frac{1}{x^2+1} \, ds</math> in line.
    </td>
    <td valign="top">will display <dmath>\int_0^\pi \frac{1}{x^2+1} \, ds</dmath> in a separate line and larger type
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>
<div class="tex2math_ignore"> To print the markup language as is surround it with:  &lt;nowiki&gt;<math>...</math>&lt;nowiki&gt;
to get <nowiki> <math>...</math> </nowiki>.
