WP Mathjax
==========

[](#wp-mathjax)

WP Mathjax displays mathematical notation in web browsers, using MathML, LaTeX and ASCIIMathML markup on WordPress by using MathJax.js.

Download
--------

[](#download)

sourcedownloadWordPressGitHub repositoryPHP Composer`composer create-project terrylinooo/wp-mathjax wp-mathjax`Installation
------------

[](#installation)

1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/wp-mathjax` directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress.
3. Go to the WP mathjax menu in Settings and set your options.

How to use
----------

[](#how-to-use)

WP Mathjax is smart enough that loads mathjax.js only when your posts contain mathjax syntax, by detecting the use of shortcode and block. So it will not be loaded on your website everywhere.

### Shortcode

[](#shortcode)

In classic editor, you can use the shortcode to render your mathjax syntax. If you are using WordPress version below 5.0, this is the only way you can use this feature.

```
[mathjax]
x = {-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} \over 2a}.
[/mathjax]

```

### Gutenberg Block

[](#gutenberg-block)

Choose a mathjax block:

Fill in your mathjax syntax in the editor.
