hexo-math

hexo-math

A hexo plugin that uses MathJax to render math equations. Features:

• Automatcially deploy and add reference to MathJax
• Provide support to both MathJax's inline math syntax and math tags

(See a Chinese version of this document here)

Install

npm install hexo-math --save

Initialize

• Run in your blog project folder:

$ hexo math install

• Edit _config.yml:

plugins:
- hexo-math

Usage

You can use MathJax's inline math syntax directly. But always remember to escape any special characters by adding a \ before it. LaTex equations usually contains tones of special characters like \, which makes it painful to escape them one by one. In such cases, you can use hexo-math's tags to make your life easier.

MathJax Inline:

Simple inline $a = b + c$.

MathJax Block:

$$\frac{\partial u}{\partial t}
= h^2 \left( \frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial x^2} +
\frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial y^2} +
\frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial z^2}\right)$$

Tag inline:

This equation {% math \cos 2\theta = \cos^2 \theta - \sin^2 \theta =  2 \cos^2 \theta - 1 %} is inline.

Tag Block:

{% math-block %}
\begin{aligned}
\dot{x} & = \sigma(y-x) \\
\dot{y} & = \rho x - y - xz \\
\dot{z} & = -\beta z + xy
\end{aligned}
{% endmath-block %}
