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.
:<math>\int_0^\infty e^{-x^2}\,dx.</math> If you find an article which indents lines with spaces in order to achieve some formula layout effect, you should convert the formula to LaTeX markup. Having LaTeX-based formulae in-line has the following drawbacks, if they are displayed using the default PNG images:
For instance, the formula above was typeset using <math display=block> \int _ 0 ^ \pi \sin x \, dx.</math>. If you find an article which indents lines with spaces in order to achieve some formula layout effect, you should convert the formula to LaTeX markup. Having LaTeX-based formulae inline has the following drawbacks:
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).
The math template formats mathematical formulas generated using HTML or wiki markup. (It does not accept the AMS-LaTeX markup that <math> does.) The template uses the texhtml 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).
Use this template to wrap an inline formula with a calligraphic font in wikitext. Example: {{mathcal|AaBbCcDdEe 0123456789}} produces: AaBbCcDdEe 0123456789. The template attempts to use any calligraphic font that may be installed on several operating systems, either as default or as part of an office package.
AMS-LaTeX is a collection of LaTeX document classes and packages developed for the American Mathematical Society (AMS). Its additions to LaTeX include the typesetting of multi-line and other mathematical statements, document classes, and fonts containing numerous mathematical symbols. [1] It has largely superseded the plain TeX macro package ...
