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

• To enable KaTeX globally, set the parameter math to true in a project’s configuration:

  • config.toml

    [params]
      math = true
    

  • config.yaml

    params:
      math: true
    

• To enable KaTeX on a per page basis, include the parameter math: true in Front Matter of Markdown content files:

  ---
  math: true
  ---
  

Note: Use the online reference of Supported TeX Functions

Examples

• Block math:

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

• Inline math:

  This is an inline polynomial: $5x^2 + 2y -7$.
