Math Typesetting

Mathematical notation in a Hugo project can be enabled by using third party JavaScript libraries.

In this example we will be using KaTeX

Create a partial under /layouts/partials/math.html
Within this partial reference the Auto-render Extension or host these scripts locally.
Include the partial in your templates (extend_head.html) like so:
refer ISSUE #236

{{ if or .Params.math .Site.Params.math }}
{{ partial "math.html" . }}
{{ end }}

To enable KaTex globally set the parameter math to true in a project’s configuration
To enable KaTex on a per page basis include the parameter math: true in content files

Note: Use the online reference of Supported TeX Functions

Inline math: $\varphi = \dfrac{1+\sqrt5}{2}= 1.6180339887…$

Block math:

$$ \varphi = 1+\frac{1} {1+\frac{1} {1+\frac{1} {1+\cdots} } } $$
