Help:Math

Math formulas may displayed on Wikia pages using a built in tag found in MediaWiki, the software Wikia runs on. This tag is enabled by default and can be used across all wikias. For the technically inclined, MediaWiki uses a subset of AMS-LaTeX markup, a superset of LaTeX markup which is in turn a superset of TeX markup, for mathematical formulae.

Step-by-Step

 * You need to first be in source editing mode on an article.
 * You must use the following format:  $$ math to be displayed $$ .
 * For more exacting details on the math to be displayed section see this article on Wikipedia.

Simple example

 * $${3 ~ \times ~ 2 ~ = ~ 6}$$
