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: βI spent 20$ and another 100$β do not get converted.
When using MathJax, you can also enable asciimath processing which uses %
as a delimiter: %E=mc^2%
