Use of the available extensions

MathJax

The MathJax extension allows the use of MathJax, a display engine for mathematics providing high quality mathematics fonts. The main interest for the ES lies in its ability to produce high quality display of latex formulae with no need for any extra tags. Equations may simply be written in Latex and MathJax will recognize the Latex Tags.

As an example, the following lines with a reasonably complex set of equations

$x^2$

will result in the the following being displayed.
