Math (LaTeX)

Write inline and block mathematical expressions with LaTeX syntax — fractions, matrices, summations, and Greek letters rendered with KaTeX in Hugo.

Ownable renders math expressions using KaTeX, a fast LaTeX math renderer.

Inline Math

Wrap expressions in single dollar signs:

The famous equation $E = mc^2$ relates energy and mass.

The famous equation $E = mc^2$ relates energy and mass.

Use double dollar signs for display-mode equations:

$$
\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{-x^2} dx = \sqrt{\pi}
$$

\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{-x^2} dx = \sqrt{\pi}

$$
x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}
$$

x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

$$
A = \begin{bmatrix}
1 & 2 & 3 \\
4 & 5 & 6 \\
7 & 8 & 9
\end{bmatrix}
$$

A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 4 & 5 & 6 \\ 7 & 8 & 9 \end{bmatrix}

$$
\sum_{i=1}^{n} i = \frac{n(n+1)}{2}
\qquad
\prod_{i=1}^{n} i = n!
$$

\sum_{i=1}^{n} i = \frac{n(n+1)}{2} \qquad \prod_{i=1}^{n} i = n!
