Use of LaTeX for separately displayed formulas and more complicated inline formulas; Use of LaTeX for formulas involving symbols that are not regularly rendered in Unicode (see MOS:BBB) Avoid formulas in section headings, and when this is necessary, use raw HTML (see Finite field for an example)
TeX is the math typesetting software (mostly) installed on the wikipedia. Even if you don't edit math, the math font can be used to greatly improve the legibility of Greek text which us non-Greeks find hard to read in san-serif, with all the little shapely clues removed. Compare the typewriter, math, and default san-serif fonts, below:
The use of Unicode characters for blackboard bold is discouraged in English Wikipedia; instead, either the LaTeX rendering (for example <math>\mathbb{Z}</math> or <math>\Z</math>) or standard bold fonts should be used. As with all such choices, each article should be consistent with itself, and editors should not change articles from one choice ...
This essay offers a comparison of different encodings and presentation of mathematical formulae. The three principal ones are the <math> tag, raw wiki (or HTML) code, and "texhtml" templates. The <math> and "texhtml" encoding may have different presentations for registered users, depending on user preferences and personal styles.
This template displays the Greek letter epsilon for use in mathematical equations. Template parameters [Edit template data] Parameter Description Type Status No italic noitalic Whether or not the character displayed is not italic. Unknown optional bold bold Whether to use the variation of the character that is bold. Note: Not every symbol has a corresponding bold character. Unknown optional ...
Math typesetting works as follows: Pure HTML rendering works as HTML {} renders the HTML in the texhtml CSS style; TeX rendering (using <math> mode) uses: texvc for PNG rendering; is put in a texhtml CSS style when rendered as HTML; There are also various Wikipedia templates used in some HTML rendering. …and MathML output. Rendering depends on:
In addition, a blackboard-bold μ n (not found in Unicode or amsmath LaTeX) is sometimes used by number theorists and algebraic geometers to designate the group scheme of n-th roots of unity. [ 27 ] Note: Only uppercase Roman letters are given LaTeX renderings because Wikipedia's implementation uses the AMSFonts blackboard bold typeface, which ...
The Mathcal template is intended to simulate a calligraphic font for use in mathematical formulas using standard HTML. Use this template as an alternative to \mathcal{...} in LaTeX markup (see Help:Displaying a formula ).
