Wiki editing guide

MathJax

User either $ $ or \( \) for inline math and $$ $$ or \[ \] for display style math. You can also use environments, such as align, align*, equation. Equations within numbered environments may be labeled with \label and referenced with \ref or, better, \eqref.

New commands

New $\LaTeX$ command for the current document can be defined using \newcommand. Globally, commands can be added as macros in the wiki/MathJax/config/default.js file around line 544.

Defined commands:

• \N, \Z, \Q, \R, \C for basic sets $\N, \Z, \Q, \R, \C$
• \T for matrix transpose $A^\T$.
• \b{x} for bold symbols (including greek letters $\b{\alpha}$.

Static pages

We have a script that copies wiki as static pages. It is located in scripts/ folder in our repo. It can be run directly or by going into your build folder and running make static_wiki.

Adding figures

There is a drop option to upload an image. To actually insert it in the article (wanting to refer to it later) use the following example

1 <figure id="fig:my_figure_label">
2 [[File:name_of_my_figure.png|thumb|upright=2|alt=An alternative text, that appears if the figure cannot be shown|<caption>The caption under the figure</caption>]]
3 </figure>

To make a reference to the image, use the code

1 <xr id="fig:my_figure_label"/>
