## Beskrywing
MathJax enables enables rendering of embedded LaTeX or MathML in HTML pages. This
plugin adds this functionality to WordPress. The MathJax JavaScript is inject on-
demand only to those pages which require it. This ensures that MathJax is not loaded
for all pages, which will otherwise slow loading down.
The MathJax JavaScript can be delivered from your own server, or you can use the
Cloudflare Content Distribution Network (CDN), which is the preferred mechanism
as it offers increased speed and stability over hosting the JavaScript and configuring
the library yourself.
You may embed latex using a variety of different syntaxes. The shortcode (https://
codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API) syntax is preferred. So `[latex]E=mc^2[/latex]`
will work out of the box. This also forces loading of MathJax.
Additionally, you can use native MathJax syntax — `$$E=mc^2$$` or `\(E=mc^2\)`.
However, if this is the only syntax used, the plugin must be explicitly told to
load MathJax for the current page. This can be achieved by adding a `[mathjax]`
shortcode anywhere in the post. For posts with both `[latex]`x`[/latex]` and `$$
x$$` syntaxes this is unnecessary.
You can use wp-latex syntax, `$latex E=mc^2$`. Parameters can be specified as with
wp-latex but will be ignored. This means that MathJax-LaTeX should be a drop-in
replacement for wp-latex. Because this conflicts with wp-latex, this behaviour is
blocked when wp-latex is present, and must be explicitly enabled in the settings.
You can also specify `[nomathjax]` — this will block mathjax on the current page,
regardless of other tags.
MathJax-LaTeX is developed on [GitHub](https://github.com/phillord/mathjax-latex).

My wordpress version is 6.7.2. I just added a simple equation, it is not displayed
at all.

This plugin is working fine in 2025. Just write your equation in $$equation$$. That’s
all.

There is a mistake on the beginning of this product descriotion: There, we see: “
enables enables”
### [Great! But there are still some bugs.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-but-there-are-still-some-bugs/)

I think it’s a very great plugin because we, as a physics lover, are so difficult
to type latex equations in any blog. I like wordpress but its WP-latex is not good
enough. I found that MathJax won’t work well when the equation is too many “A_{1}
^{2}”, “\text{1233}” or something like that. For example, $$\large\sum_{i=1}^n\vec{
F}_{\text{ext, i}}=\sum_{i=1}^n$$ This equation won’t show LaTeX correctly. However,
if I delete =\sum_{i=1}^n, then everything is fine. $$\large\sum_{i=1}^n\vec{F}_{\
text{ext, i}}$$ I really need your help. I love this plugin so much because it enables
me to write a physics blog. Thank you so much. You can see this two pictures : https://

### [Easy to use.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/easy-to-use-1737/)
[Find Hao](https://profiles.wordpress.org/findblog/) Desember 10, 2017
Thanks for your work. By the way, could you please add the inlineMath config? Or
I have to add in header.php to support the
inlineMath.
### [Great plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-15097/)
[liuyiwp](https://profiles.wordpress.org/liuyiwp/) September 8, 2017
I really like the fact that it only injected code when needed. It seems I cannot
put two [latex] equations on one page. I ended up use one [latex] and one $$ code.
