MathJax

MathJax is a cross-browser JavaScript library that displays mathematical notation in web browsers, using MathML, LaTeX and AsciiMath markup. MathJax is released as open-source software under the Apache License. (Wikipedia:MathJax)

Use MathJax in TWiki:

Step 1: Include the mathjax JavaScript from a CDN:

<script type="text/javascript" async src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mathjax/2.7.7/MathJax.js?config=TeX-MML-AM_CHTML">
</script>

Including this JavaScript could be done by a plugin, or a site-wide preferences setting, so that you could simply write %USEMATHJAX% in a topic to use MathJax. Or, you could add it to a TWiki template so that it is available in all topics by default.

Step 2: Enter math text:

Language	You write	You get
TeX:	`\[x = {-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} \over 2a}\]`	\[x = {-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} \over 2a}\]
MathML:	`<math><msqrt><mi>x</mi></msqrt></math>`	$\sqrt{x}$
AsciiMath:	`a^2 + b^2 = c^2`	`a^2 + b^2 = c^2`
