WagtailMath allows you to write equations in your Wagtail content using markup and render them beautifully.
WagtailMath provides a MathBlock
so you can write equations in markup (TeX, MathML, ASCIIMath) and render them with MathJax.
It features a live preview:
MathBlock
uses MathJax for rendering so there is very little to do on the front end. Simply include
the MathJax JS and render the raw MathBlock
content as you would for any other streamfield plain text block.
WagtailMath even includes a template tag to include the MathJax JS for you from a CDN. By default, MathJax is configured to accept all recognised markup (TeX, MathML, ASCIIMath) and renders them to HTML. To change the configuration, you can pass the desired config command to the templatetag. See http://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/config-files.html#combined-configurations for possible configurations.
For help on using the markup languages see the relevant MathJax documentation (e.g. http://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/tex.html) and the markup language-specific documentation (e.g. https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX)
Install wagtailmath:
pip install wagtailmath
Add it to your INSTALLED_APPS:
INSTALLED_APPS = (
...
'wagtailmath',
...
)
Use MathBlock
in your StreamField
content:
from wagtailmath.blocks import MathBlock
class MyPage(Page):
body = StreamField([
('heading', blocks.CharBlock(classname="full title")),
('paragraph', blocks.RichTextBlock()),
('equation', MathBlock())
])
Use the mathjax
template tag in your front end template to load the MathJax library:
{% load wagtailmath %}
...
<script src="{% mathjax %}"></script>
