1. Open the article in edit mode and switch to "wiki text editor"

2. Click on "Mathematical formula (LaTeX)"


The Wikitext code for an example formula looks like this:

 <math>
 \operatorname{erfc}(x) =
 \frac{2}{\sqrt{\pi}} \int_x^{\infty} e^{-t^2}\,dt =
 \frac{e^{-x^2}}{x\sqrt{\pi}}\sum_{n=0}^\infty (-1)^n \frac{(2n)!}{n!(2x)^{2n}}
 </math> 


Which results in a formula like this:


What you see is:

  • The overall formula needs to be enclosed by <math> and </math> tags.
  • The formula itself is written in LaTeX code
