Setting up \(\TeX\)math typesetting on your website is one of those tasks that can seem really difficult if you don’t know what to look for. Here’s a simple way to do it.

I used Khan Academy’s KaTeX typesetting library for my blog. KaTeX is fast, self-contained, and works largely as you would expect. Here are the instructions:

1. Include KaTeX on your site by adding the required reference tags and scripts to your html template¹. See this commit for the changes I made to get it working on this blog.

2. Typeset math by enclosing your notation within \\( and \\) for inline typesetting, or \\[ and \\] for typesetting on a separate line.

   For example, with inline typesetting, \\(\alpha\\), becomes \(\alpha\). With non-inline typesetting, \\[x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = r^2\\] becomes: \[x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = r^2\]

3. If you have any rendering issues, check your console for error messages. Also take a look at the full documentation on Github.
