How to support latex in github-pages?

Question

I use jekyll to write post and show it in github-pages. My source file is writen with markdown.

How can I insert formula into the markdown file?

Answer 1

The easiest way to do this right now is to use the KaTeX auto-render extension.

Simply drop the following into your :

Note that this assumes the following delimiters appear in your HTML:

$$\LaTeX code$$   (for display)
\\[\LaTeX code\\] (also for display)
\\(\LaTeX code\\) (for inline)

Note, if using Jekyll, you will need to have the following in your _config.yml:

markdown: kramdown
kramdown:
    math_engine: katex

WARNING: Do not use math_engine: mathjax. It will break this by automatically removing the LaTeX delimiters.
