Equations

Equations in Mediawiki are rendered using the very powerful markup language in LaTex. Authors may create equations in the free LaTex editor [LyX]. The equation markup can then be copied/pasted into a wiki article using the source editor ("Edit source" tab upper right). Alternatively, most modern equation editors including MSWord, will convert equations to LaTex, and this conversion can be copied/pasted.

This link is to a video showing how to convert equations in MSWord to LaTex.

<Math></math> tags

The equation markup in LaTex must appear in between <Math> and </math> tags. For example,

Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle R_W = \frac{W_t - W_B}{A_t}\times200 + W_B }

was rendered with,

<math>
R_W = \frac{W_t - W_B}{A_t}\times200 + W_B
</math>

Inline equations

Equations can be rendered in a line of text simply by beginning the part of the sentence with the equation with <math> and ending the equation part with </math>. For example,

• let Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle A_t} be the age at weighing in days
• let Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle W_t} be the weight in kilograms
• let Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle W_B} be the recorded birth weight or a breed standard,

was rendered by,

*let <math>A_t</math> be the age at weighing in days
*let <math>W_t</math> be the weight in kilograms
*let <math>W_B</math> be the recorded birth weight or a breed standard,

Labeling equations

Equations should be numbered and labeled in italics.

Equation 1. Age adjust weaning weight.
