Extension:Math

The Math extension provides support for rendering mathematical formulas on-wiki via texvc and other backends. It was a part of the core MediaWiki software until MediaWiki 1.18, r85706. See also the related bug #14202 on Bugzilla.

Configuration settings
The following variables can be defined in LocalSettings.php after calling require_once("$IP/extensions/Math/Math.php"):

MathJax
From 1.19/1.20, the Math extension supports rendering via MathJax, a client-side JavaScript library for parsing latex or mathml code and producing in-browser representation using the browser's native support for HTML+CSS, or MathML, or SVG.

This can render math expressions more sharply (using subpixel antialiasing) and larger (scaling up for zoomed view, printing, or high-resolution screens).

Set $wgUseMathJax to enable MathJax rendering mode; it is still somewhat experimental. For now, users will have to opt in to MathJax on their preferences. In the future we hope to make it the default rendering mode.

LaTeXML
A convenient option to render LaTeX is to use the LaTeXML web service. This service converts LaTeX to high quality MathML.

You can enable the LaTeXML rendering option with the following settings A short guide to install LaTeXML on your own server can be found here: Install LaTeXML
