python-markdown-math
Advanced tools
This extension adds math formulas support to Python-Markdown.
$ pip install python-markdown-math
Use pip install .
to install this extension from a local Git checkout.
The extension name is mdx_math
, so you need to add that name to your
list of Python-Markdown extensions.
Check Python-Markdown documentation for details on how to load
extensions.
To use this extension, you need to include MathJax library in HTML files, like:
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/mathjax@2/MathJax.js">
</script>
Also, you need to specify a configuration for MathJax. Please note that
most of standard configurations include tex2jax
extension, which is not needed
with this code.
Example of configuration for MathJax 2.x:
<script type="text/x-mathjax-config">
MathJax.Hub.Config({
config: ["MMLorHTML.js"],
jax: ["input/TeX", "output/HTML-CSS", "output/NativeMML"],
extensions: ["MathMenu.js", "MathZoom.js"]
});
</script>
If you want to use MathJax 3.x, you need to teach it to understand 2.x-style
<script>
tags. See the upgrading documentation on how to do it.
Alternatively, you may use the Arithmatex extension which has a generic
output mode, that does not require such special configuration.
To pass the extension to Python-Markdown, use mdx_math
as extension name.
For example:
>>> md = markdown.Markdown(extensions=['mdx_math'])
>>> md.convert('$$e^x$$')
'<p>\n<script type="math/tex; mode=display">e^x</script>\n</p>'
Usage from the command line:
$ echo "\(e^x\)" | python3 -m markdown -x mdx_math
<p>
<script type="math/tex">e^x</script>
</p>
For inline math, use \(...\)
.
For standalone math, use $$...$$
, \[...\]
or \begin...\end
.
The single-dollar delimiter ($...$
) for inline math is disabled by
default, but can be enabled by passing enable_dollar_delimiter=True
in the extension configuration.
If you want to use GitLab-style delimiters ($`...`$
for inline math,
and a code block-like ```math...```
syntax for standalone), use
use_gitlab_delimiters=True
configuration option.
If you want to this extension to generate a preview node (which will be shown
when MathJax has not yet processed the node, or when JavaScript is unavailable),
use add_preview=True
configuration option.
If you use ReText, this extension is not needed as it is included by default.
This extension also works with Katex. Use the following in your page <head>
