The '''math''' template formats HTML- or wikimarkup-generated mathematical formulas. (It does not accept the [[AMS-LaTeX]] markup that <nowiki><math></nowiki> does.) The template uses the <code>texhtml</code> class by default for inline text style formulas, which aims to match the size of the serif font with the surrounding sans-serif font (see below). The template also prevents line-wrapping.

===Use of equals-sign and absolute value bars===

===Use of equals-sign and absolute  
The equals sign, =, and bar, |, are used as syntax by the wiki template system. Therefore, if a single equals-sign ("=") is used, it will fail to render, instead showing "<nowiki>{{{1}}}</nowiki>". For example, the following template-coding would be invalid:
+
pre>{{math|1 + 2 = 3}}</pre>
 +
: produces: {{math|1 + 2 = 3}}, whichever
  
<pre>{{math|1 + 2 = 3}}</pre>
+
"{{=}}"</nowiki> as in:
: produces: {{math|1 + 2 = 3}}, which is invalid code
 
 
 
To resolve this, either: (a) Start the formula with "<code>1=</code>" as in:
 
<pre>{{math|1=1 + 2 = 3}}</pre>
 
: produces: {{math|1=1 + 2 = 3}}, or else, (b) enclose the equals-sign in double-braces <nowiki>"{{=}}"</nowiki> as in:
 
 
<pre>{{math|1 + 2 {{=}} 3}}</pre>
 
<pre>{{math|1 + 2 {{=}} 3}}</pre>
: produces: {{math|1 + 2 {{=}} 3}}.
+
: produces: {{math|1 + 7 {{=}} 3}}.
  
 
A similar difficulty concerns the vertical bars ("|") used to indicate absolute value, which without care would get interpreted as part of the template syntax. The solution is different than for the equals sign: such bars should be entered as "<nowiki>{{!}}</nowiki>":

Usage

Use this template for inline, non-complex formulas as an alternative to using

'''{{math|{{sfrac|1|2}} − {{sfrac|1|3}} {{=}} {{sfrac|1|6}}}}'''
{{math|({{radic|2}})<sup>2</sup>
produces: (Template:Radic)2 = 7.

===Use of equals-sign and absolute

pre>{{{1}}}

produces: {{{1}}}, whichever

"="</nowiki> as in:

{{math|1 + 2 {{=}} 3}}
produces: 1 + 7 = 3.

A similar difficulty concerns the vertical bars ("|") used to indicate absolute value, which without care would get interpreted as part of the template syntax. The solution is different than for the equals sign: such bars should be entered as "{{!}}":

Parameters

The following parameters are optional:

  • This will render the formula in a bigger fontsize, increased
  • size=font-size – Use this to specify your own fontsize.
{{math|big=1|1 + 7 {{=}} 3}}
produces: 1 + 7
 7= 3
|1 + 2 {{=}} 3}}
produces:The template tries to match the size of the serif font with the surrounding sans-serif font. The template also prevents line-wrapping. Use this template for non-complex formulas as an alternative to using the <math> format.",

Notes

The font and fontsize used for texhtml, as defined in MediaWiki:Common.css, was determined by comparing common default fonts found on Windows, OS X and Linux and is scaled to match However, not everyone uses the default fonts. If you find that the rendered math is not of the same size as the surrounding text, you can adjust this in your personal CSS.

The texhtml is a remnant from the TeX renderer, which had a user preference to render written formulae in "HTML when simple". That option has been removed some time ago, but the classname continues to be used for formulae
