Math Typesetting

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

Examples

Simple addition and subtraction:

$$ a + b = c $$

$$ a - b = c $$

Simple multiplication and division:

$$ a \times b = c $$

$$ \frac{a}{b} = c $$

Fractions:

$$ \frac{a + b}{c + d} = e $$

the quadratic formula:

$$ x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} $$

Block math:

$$ \varphi = 1+\frac{1} {1+\frac{1} {1+\frac{1} {1+\cdots}}} $$
