Filtered HTML + Math text format

The "Filtered HTML + Math" text format for WYSIWYG editors uses MathJax to allow for mathematical expressions using LaTeX syntax to be displayed in SiteNow.

To display mathematical expressions, place your LaTeX math between one of the delimiters below. The $...$ and \[...\] delimiters are recommended as dollar signs can conflict with currency symbols in prose. You can display expressions either inline or standalone.

For a full syntax reference, see TeX Commands Available in MathJax.

Inline — renders within a line of text

Delimiter	WYSIWYG input	Rendered output
`$...$`	`The formula $x^2 + y^2 = r^2$ appears here.`	The formula $x^2 + y^2 = r^2$ appears here.
$...$	`The formula $x^2 + y^2 = r^2$ appears here.`	The formula $x^2 + y^2 = r^2$ appears here.

Standalone — renders centered on its own line, larger

Delimiter	WYSIWYG input	Rendered output
`\[...\]`	`\[x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}\]`	\[x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}\]
`$$...$$`	`$$x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$$`	$$x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$$

Accessibility

SiteNow provides MathJax support to help campus websites present mathematical notation in a more accessible and readable format. Based on internal testing, mathematical expressions rendered with MathJax generally work well with accessibility evaluation tools.

MathJax provides accessibility features to make interactions more usable but has some custom keyboard shortcuts in order to use them. Read their documentation for more information.
