jqMath is a JavaScript module that makes it easy to put formatted mathematical expressions in web pages
jqMath uses a simple TeX-like syntax, with MathML semantics:
- $, or ( and ), to delimit inline mathematics
- $$, or [ and ], to delimit block or “display” mathematics
- ^ for superscript
- _ for subscript
- { and } for grouping
- ↖ for overscript
- ↙ for underscript
- \ or ` to quote the next character (turning off its special meaning), start a macro or multi-letter name, or make a name non-italic
- \bo, \it, or \bi for a bold, italic, or bold-italic variable
- \sc or \fr for a script or Fraktur letter
- \ov for an overbar
- \table for a matrix, table, or simply tabular alignment - separate entries with , and rows with ;
- \text or \html for plain text or html inside mathematics - specify the text or html inside quotes spaces, tabs and newlines are ignored
jqMath is lightweight and standards-based. Thus pages containing jqMath code load quickly, and expressions can be resized by the user, or easily passed to screen reading, graphing, or computer algebra software.
