Write An Equation Using Latex In Github Page
The GitHub page is simple blog created and hosted in a GitHub repository for free. May be some of you who want to share an information related to mathematical expression using LaTex, you may consider to adjust some configuration in the GitHub page. In this case, the GitHub page is created by using template from https://github.com/chadbaldwin/simple-blog-bootstrap.
Setup _config.yml
We need to set a markdown: kramdown and the math_engine: mathjax also mathjax: true. These three important things to be considered. In general, the configuration will looks like as follow
markdown: kramdown
kramdown:
math_engine: mathjax
mathjax: true
syntax_highlighter_opts:
disable: true
Setup the MathJax convertion
This set up is done in the _includes/head.html. Please add the following JavaScript code in the _includes/head.html before end of </head>.
<script type="text/javascript" async
src="https://polyfill.io/v3/polyfill.min.js?features=es6">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" async
id="MathJax-script" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/mathjax@3/es5/tex-mml-chtml.js">
</script>
Once you have finished set up, please create an equation post. The equation can be written by using $$ equation $$, for example, the command of $$ y = mx + c $$ will be rendered as \(y = mx + c\)
