When an inline formula is long enough, it can be helpful to allow it to break across lines. Whether using LaTeX or templates, split the formula at each acceptable breakpoint into separate <math> tags or {} templates with any binary relations or operators and intermediate whitespace included at the trailing rather than leading end of a part.
Often better formatting can be achieved with < math display = inline > tag, which translates to the \textstyle LaTeX command. By default, LaTeX code is rendered as if it were a displayed equation (not inline), and this can frequently be too big.
display=inline generates a smaller summation sign and moves the limits on the sum to the right side of the summation sign. The code for this is <math display = inline>\sum_{n=1}^\infty 1/n^2 = \pi^2/6</math>, and it renders as the much more aesthetic = / = /. However, the default font for inline formula is different from the normal text font.
Close match to the appearance of inline <math>. Mixing of font families (sans-serif for English, serif for math), in running text, can be jarring. Reverts to the appearance of raw wiki code on systems that don't support font changes (e.g. the Wikipedia Android app) Not an exact match to <math> formulas in the same article

A mathematical markup language is a computer notation for representing mathematical formulae, based on mathematical notation. Specialized markup languages are necessary because computers normally deal with linear text and more limited character sets (although increasing support for Unicode is obsoleting very simple uses).
Any MathJax equation displayed in a supported browser can be copied out in MathML or LaTeX format via "Show Math as" sub-menu if right-button clicked or control-clicked on it. Then it can be pasted in any equation editor that supports MathML or LaTeX, such as Mathematica, MathType, MathMagic, or Firemath, for re-use. [25]
