Examples of using MimeTeX

This page contains examples of using MimeTeX. Feel free to add more examples. The examples are categorized into:

For the full documentation, see http://www.forkosh.com/mimetex.html.

Basic examples

Some basic examples of math notation. Remember to place the math markup within

{$ ... $}
For example, the math markup x=y^2 should really be entered as
{$
x=y^2$}
.

Example

Result

Source markup

Superscript

{$ x^2 + y^2 = z^2 $}

x^2 + y^2 = z^2

Complicated superscript

{$e^{2\pi i} $}

e^{2\pi i}

Subscript

{$ x_1 + x_2 + x_3 $}

x_1 + x_2 + x_3

Fraction

{$ \frac a b = \frac {x+y} {x-y} $}

\frac a b = \frac {x+y} {x-y}

Sum

{$ \Bigsum_{n=0}^N x_n $}

\Bigsum_{n=0}^N x_n

Parenthesis

{$ \(1+\frac A B\)^n $}

\(1+\frac A B\)^n

Square root

{$ \sqrt x = \sqrt{a+b} $}

\sqrt x = \sqrt{a+b}

Greek

{$ \alpha, \beta, \gamma $}

{\alpha, \beta, \gamma

Small space

{$ a\,b = a b $}

a\,b = a b

Horisontal space

{$ a\hspace{10}b $}

a\hspace{10}b

Matrix

{$ \( \array{cc$ 0 & 1 \\ 2 & 3} \) $}

\( \array{cc$ 0 & 1 \\ 2 & 3} \)

Square matrix

{$ \[ \array{cc$ 0 & 1 \\ 2 & 3} \] $}

\[ \array{cc$ 0 & 1 \\ 2 & 3} \]

Space examples

Various horizontal spaces, remember to place the math markup within {$ ... $}.

ExampleResultMath markup
Negative space{$ a\!b $}a\!b
Thin space{$ a\,b $}a\,b
Medium space{$ a\:b $}a\:b
Thick space{$ a\;b $}a\;b
Quadratin space{$ a\quad b $}a\quad b
Double quadratin space{$ a\qquad b $}a\qquad b
"hspace{5}"{$ a\hspace{5}b $}a\hspace{5}b
"hspace{10"{$ a\hspace{20}b $}a\hspace{20}b

Delimiter examples

Note that the delimiters in the examples will automatically scale to fit whatever they surround. Various horizontal spaces, remember to place the math markup within {$ ... $}.

Example{$\hspace{20}$}Result{$\hspace{20}$}Math markup
Parenthesis{$\left( A \right)$}\left( A \right)
Curly braces{$\left{ A \right}$}\left{ A \right}
Square braces{$\left[ A \right]$}\left[ A \right]
Angle braces{$\left\langle A \right\rangle$}\left\langle A \right\rangle \
Bars{$\left| A \right|$}\left| A \right|
Double bars{$\left\| A \right\|$}\left\| A \right\|
Asymetric{$\left( A \right.$}\left( A \right.
Asymetric{$\left. A \right)$}\left. A \right)

MimeTeX also allows you to use the following shorthand:

Example{$\hspace{20}$}Result{$\hspace{20}$}Math markup
Parenthesis{$\( A \)$}\( A \)
Curly braces{$\{ A \}$}\{ A \}
Square braces{$\[ A \] $}\[ A \]
Angle braces{$\< A \> $}\< A \>
Bars{$\| A \| $}\| A \|
Double bars{$\= A \= $}\= A \=

This

{$ y = \{{\text{this} \atop \text{that}}\. $}

was created by the following math markup:

y = \{{\text{this} \atop \text{that}}\.

Text examples

Some different symbol sets and fonts:

Example{$\hspace{20}$}Result{$\hspace{20}$}Math markup
Normal math font{$ R $} R
Roman font{$ \textrm{R} $}\textrm{R}
Blackboard font{$ \mathbb{R} $}\mathbb{R}
Calligraphic font{$ \cal{R} $}\cal{R}
Script? font{$ \scr{R} $}\scr{R}
..{$ Some text $}{@Some text@]
Text{$\text{Some text}$}\text{Some text}
Italic text ?{$\textit{Some text}$}\textit{Some text}
Roman math text{$\textrm{Some text}$}\textrm{Some text}

This example

{$ f(x) \: = \: \textrm{An unknown function} $}

was generated by the following math markup:

f(x) \: = \: \textrm{An unknown function}

Accents (decorations)

Vector{$\hat v$}\hat v
Vector{$\bar v$}\bar v
Vector{$\tilde v$}\tilde v
