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.ini.php file
|
|
|
|
[system]
|
|
addon = ...,mathjax
|
|
|
|
and then providing the base URL after that in the config/addon.ini.php file
|
|
|
|
[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. $$f_c(x)=ax+b$$.
