When you create a math expression input problem for your students in
Studio, you'll use `MathJax <http://www.mathjax.org>`_ to change your
plain text into "beautiful math." For more information about how to use
MathJax in Studio, see *A Brief Introduction to MathJax in
Studio*.
MathJax in Studio, see :ref:`MathJax in Studio`.

A Brief Introduction to MathJax in Studio
=========================================
To write clear and professional-looking symbols and equations, we use a LaTeX-like
language called
`MathJax <http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mathjax.org%2F&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNGef2H-mZCdmCo7-kWHfu9fUGVCfg>`_.
Your MathJax equations can appear with other text in the paragraph (inline equations) or
on their own lines (display equations).
- For inline equations, you can do either of the following.
- Surround your Mathjax expression with backslashes and **parentheses**.
``\( equation \)``
- Surround your Mathjax expression with [mathjaxinline] tags. Note that these
tags use square brackets ([]).
[mathjaxinline] equation [/mathjaxinline]
- For display equations, you can do either of the following.
- Surround your Mathjax expression with backslashes and **brackets**.
``\[ equation \]``
- Surround your Mathjax expression with [mathjax] tags. Note that these tags use
square brackets ([]).
[mathjax] equation [/mathjax]
You can use MathJax in HTML (text) components and in Problem components.
.. note:: Complete MathJax documentation (together with a testing tool) can be
found at `http://www.onemathematicalcat.org/MathJaxDocumentation/TeXSyntax.htm <http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.onemathematicalcat.org%2FMathJaxDocumentation%2FTeXSyntax.htm&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNEV8PtCX6Csp0lW7lDKOLIKCOCkHg>`_.
HTML (Text) Components
----------------------
In the HTML component editor, you can use MathJax both in Visual view and in HTML view.

Problem Components
------------------
In the Problem component editor, you can use MathJax both in the Simple Editor
and in the Advanced Editor.
In the example problem below, note that the Einstein equation in the
explanation is enclosed in backslashes and parentheses, so it appears inline with the text. The
Navier-Stokes equation is enclosed in backslashes and brackets, so it appears on its
own line.
