math: true

Mathematical notation in a Hugo project can be enabled by using third party JavaScript libraries.

In this example we will be using KaTeX

• Create a partial under /layouts/partials/math.html
• Within this partial reference the Auto-render Extension or host these scripts locally.
• Include the partial in your templates like so:
  

{{ if or .Params.math .Site.Params.math }}
{{ partial "math.html" . }}
{{ end }}

• To enable KaTex globally set the parameter math to true in a project's configuration
• To enable KaTex on a per page basis include the parameter math: true in content files

Note: Use the online reference of Supported TeX Functions

{{< math.inline >}} {{ if or .Page.Params.math .Site.Params.math }} {{ end }} {{</ math.inline >}}

Examples

{{< math.inline >}}

Inline math: (\varphi = \dfrac{1+\sqrt5}{2}= 1.6180339887…)

{{</ math.inline >}}

Block math: $$ \varphi = 1+\frac{1} {1+\frac{1} {1+\frac{1} {1+\cdots} } } $$
