This extension adds math formulas support to Python-Markdown.

Installation

Use setup.py build and setup.py install to build and install this extension, respectively.

The extension name is markdown_mathjax, so you need to add that name to your list of Python-Markdown extensions. Check Python-Markdown documentation for details on how to load extensions.

Usage

To use this extension, you need to include MathJax library in HTML files, like:

Math Delimiters

For inline math, use \(...\).

The single-dollar delimiter ($...$) for inline math is disabled by default, but can be enabled by passing single_dollar_delimiter=True in the extension configuration.
