Equations with MathJax

MathJax allows you to add LaTeX-style equations to your slides.

Loading MathJax from the CDN

To load MathJax from their official CDN, add the following line to your index.build.html:

header('<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mathjax/2.7.5/MathJax.js?config=TeX-MML-AM_CHTML" async></script>');

Using a local installation

If you want to use the slides offline, download MathJax, and place it next to the deploy script. Call that folder MathJax, and add the following line to your index.build.html:

header('<script src="MathJax/MathJax.js?config=TeX-MML-AM_CHTML" async></script>');

Writing equations

MathJax follows pretty much the LaTeX equation syntax. Inline equations are written \( equation \), and $$ equation $$ will turn into paragraph equations:

<p>
  The norm of the vector \(v = \left( \begin{array}{c} x \\ y \end{array} \right) \) can be calculated as follows:
  $$ \left| v \right| = \sqrt{ x^2 + y^2 } $$
</p>

Equations can appear anywhere on the slides. MathJax will format them when the presentation is loaded.
