About
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
This addon for friendica includes the [MathJax][1] CDN to enable rendering of
|
|
[LaTeX][2] formulae in your friendica postings.
|
|
|
|
Configuration
|
|
-------------
|
|
All you need to do is provide Friendica with the base URL of MathJax. This can
|
|
be either the URL of the CDN of MathJax or your own installation.
|
|
|
|
In case you want to use the CDN you can try the following URL as a quick start
|
|
|
|
http://cdn.mathjax.org/mathjax/latest/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS_HTML
|
|
|
|
In case you don't want or can use the admin panel of Friendica you can activate
|
|
the addon by adding _mathjax_ to the list in your `config/local.config.php` file
|
|
|
|
'system' => [
|
|
...
|
|
'addon' => '...,mathjax'
|
|
...
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
and then providing the base URL after that in the `config/mathjax.config.php` file
|
|
|
|
return [
|
|
'mathjax' => [
|
|
'baseurl' => '[the URL to your MathJax installation]',
|
|
],
|
|
];
|
|
|
|
Usage
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
Once the addon is configured you can use LaTeX syntax in your postings to share
|
|
formulae with your contacts. But remember that the formulae are rendered in the
|
|
browser of the user thus your contacts need to activate this addon as well. If
|
|
they don't they will only see the LaTeX syntax in your texts.
|
|
|
|
Just enclose your equations in $$...$$ pairs like e.g. $$f_c(x)=ax+b$$.
