+# Mathjax
+
+To use [Mathjax] on a just-the-docs page:
+
+- include `mathjax: true` in the YAML preamble
+
+- enclose $$ \LaTeX $$ code in [kramdown math blocks]
+
+The default Mathjax options in `_config.yml` are:
+
+```yaml
+compress_html:
+  blanklines: true # required for Mathjax
+mathjax:
+  source: https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mathjax/2.7.5/latest.js?config=TeX-AMS_CHTML
+  config: 'MathJax.Hub.Config({ TeX: { equationNumbers: { autoNumber: "AMS" } } })'
+``` 
+
+Here is an example:
+
+$$
+\begin{align*}
+  & \phi(x,y) = \phi \left(\sum_{i=1}^n x_ie_i, \sum_{j=1}^n y_je_j \right)
+  = \sum_{i=1}^n \sum_{j=1}^n x_i y_j \phi(e_i, e_j) = \\
+  & (x_1, \ldots, x_n) \left( \begin{array}{ccc}
+      \phi(e_1, e_1) & \cdots & \phi(e_1, e_n) \\
+      \vdots & \ddots & \vdots \\
+      \phi(e_n, e_1) & \cdots & \phi(e_n, e_n)

+<!-- newcommand not in environment-->
+\newcommand{\scalong}[1]{(#1_1,\dots,#1_k)}

+
+Notice below that the `$$`-separated display math doesn't have a blank line before and after (i.e. in an actual $$\LaTeX$$ document it wouldn't be placed in a separate paragraph):
+
+The _characteristic polynomial_ $$\chi(\lambda)$$ of the
+$$3 \times 3$$ matrix  
+    $$
+\left( \begin{array}{ccc}
+a & b & c \\
+d & e & f \\
+g & h & i \end{array} \right)
+$$  
+is given by the formula

+-d & \lambda - e & -f \\
+-g & -h & \lambda - i \end{array} \right|.

+
+This is a long line: $$\chi(\lambda) = a e i-a e \lambda -a f h-a i \lambda +a \lambda ^2-b d i+b d \lambda +b f g+c d h-c e g+c g \lambda -e i \lambda +e \lambda ^2+f h \lambda +i \lambda ^2-\lambda ^3$$
