Enabling Math
The Math plugin can be enabled from its settings, accessed from your admin/plugins page:
Features
Once enabled, you can render inline math by wrapping with a single $ like so: $E=mc^2$.
You can render blocks of maths by wrapping with $$
$$
\sqrt{(-1)} \; 2^3 \; \sum \; \pi
$$
Discourse Math uses a heuristic to ensure that sentences such as: “I spent 20$ and another 100$” do not get converted.
When using MathJax, you can also enable asciimath processing which uses % as a delimiter: %E=mc^2%
