This extension can be used to generate formulas using the LaTeX math syntax. It replaces MediaWiki's regular TeX based math support (that we cannot use due to server limitations) and the old jsMath extension. It uses the same syntax as both of these, which is [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Formula described here].

For inline equation use <code>\(...\)</code> and  for display style math use instead  <code>&lt;math&gt;...&lt;/math&gt;</code>.


The following math environments are defined for inline style math:
* <code>\(...\)</code> and
* <code>&lt;math&gt;...&lt;/math&gt;</code>.
And the following math environments are defined for display style math:
* <code>\[...\]</code>,
* <code>\begin{...}...\end{...}</code> and
* <code>:&lt;math&gt;...&lt;/math&gt;</code>.
MathJax produces nice and scalable mathematics, see their website (http://www.mathjax.org/) for a demonstration.

This extension also enables the usage of <code>\label{}</code> and <code><nowiki>\eqref{}</nowiki></code> tags with automatic formula numbering.
