Setup¶
No additional packages needed. Just enable the MyST extensions:
conf.py¶
myst_enable_extensions = [
"dollarmath", # $E = mc^2$ inline, $$...$$ display
"amsmath", # \begin{aligned}...\end{aligned}
]
Usage¶
Inline math: $f(x) = x^2 + 1$
Display math:
$$
\int_0^\infty e^{-x^2} dx = \frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{2}
$$
Result:
Inline math: \(f(x) = x^2 + 1\)
Display math:
\[
\int_0^\infty e^{-x^2} dx = \frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{2}
\]
