How can I add MathJax to my pages?

You can include an import for the MathJax library in the <head> element of a layout. The following code snippet should be plug and play for getting basic MathJax to work in your pages.

<script type="text/x-mathjax-config">
  MathJax.Hub.Config({
    extensions: ["tex2jax.js"],
    jax: ["input/TeX", "output/HTML-CSS"],
    tex2jax: {
      inlineMath: [ ['$','$'], ["\\(","\\)"] ],
      displayMath: [ ['$$','$$'], ["\\[","\\]"] ],
      processEscapes: true
    },
    "HTML-CSS": { fonts: ["TeX"] }
  });
</script>
<script src='https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mathjax/2.7.3/latest.js?config=TeX-MML-AM_CHTML' async></script>

After including the above snippet in your layout, on any page implementing that layout you can surround any text with $ $ or $$ $$ to have MathJax render it inline or on a new line, respectively.
