A [Flarum](http://flarum.org) extension to render LaTeX expressions in your posts.

Original by [Flagrow](https://github.com/Flagrow).

### Installation

[](#installation)

Use [Bazaar](https://discuss.flarum.org/d/5151-flagrow-bazaar-the-extension-marketplace) or install manually with composer:

```
composer require reflar/latex
```

### Updating

[](#updating)

```
composer update reflar/latex
php flarum cache:clear
```

### Features

[](#features)

With reflar/latex you can render LaTeX mathematical expressions inside your forum just by typing them, in **the same way** you would do your TeX document.

It supports:

- Inline expressions like `$\sin\theta$`, as well as
- Display expressions, such as `$$\frac{\cos(kx)}{\cos(x)}$$`.

There's also an option so it doesn't mess up with **Markdown** and **BBCode** extensions, so you can use all of them at the same time.

This is how the previous paragraph would look like:

### Usage

[](#usage)

Write LaTeX expressions in your post like you would in your TeX editor.

### Tip

[](#tip)

If you want to actually **show** the LaTeX code, you must use Markdown in the following way:

```
This is an expression I don't want to render
```
$$\cos(\pi) + 1 = 0$$
```
While this is going to be rendered: $yes$

```
