Add LaTeX math to course, module, and topic descriptions
Descriptions on BlitzGrok support LaTeX math rendered with MathJax. Type equations directly in the description editor using backslash delimiters — not dollar signs.
\( \) and \[ \] — not $ or $$.
Dollar-sign delimiters are not supported in descriptions.
Wrap short expressions inside a sentence with \( and \):
The energy is \(E = mc^2\) where \(c\) is the speed of light.
Inline math flows with the surrounding text — ideal for variables, short formulas, and unit symbols.
For centered, standalone equations, use \[ and \] on their own line:
\[ x^2 + y^2 = z^2 \]
Display math is centered when learners view the description. Use it for key formulas, derivations, and multi-line expressions.
\[
x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}
\]
For a circle with radius \(r\), the area is given by: \[ A = \pi r^2 \]
\(…\) and \[…\] for precise control.\( \) or \[ \], not $ or $$.\[ and \] on their own lines, not inline with other text.We're here to help
