Including Mathematical Notations in Rich Text Fields

The Pathable site is capable of displaying mathematical notations in rich text fields via an integration with the MathJax version 3 system. 

All mathematical notations should be written in the TeX or LaTeX format, and need to follow math delimiters that surround the notations. For example:

• $$ ... $$ and \[ ... \] to display larger equations that appear separated from the rest of the text on lines by themselves.
• \( ... \) and $ ... $ to in-line notations (occur within a paragraph).

Note: It's possible to include formulas manually or via imports and Data feeds, as long as the information imported includes the correct delimiters surrounding the notations.

Example #1

If the notation below is inserted into a Rich Text attribute via the Pathable admin dashboard:

When \(a \ne 0\), there are two solutions to \(ax^2 + bx + c = 0\) and they are
$$x = {-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} \over 2a}.$$

It will display this way on the event site (app) as:

Example #2

If the notation below is inserted into a Rich Text attribute via the Pathable admin dashboard:

Given an operator, say $\sigma$, two sets $X$ and $Y$ are \textit{cospanning} if $\sigma\left( X\right) =\sigma\left( Y\right) $. The corresponding equivalence relation, called cospanning,

It will display this way on the event site (app) as:
