# Writing LaTeX in WordPress

To type a formula in WordPress type $latex < Your LaTex code>$ without the signs < and >.

For example $latex \int_0^1 f(x) \, \mathrm{d} x$ produces $\int_0^1 f(x) \, \mathrm{d} x$.

To display a formula type <p align=”center”> $latex \displaystyle <Your LaTex code>$</p>.

For example <p align=”center”>$latex \displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{n^2} = \frac{\pi^2}{6}.$</p> yields

$\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{n^2} = \frac{\pi^2}{6}.$

For a short introduction to LaTex see for instance here.

3. Excellent! I $\omega \emptyset \mathbb{N} {\partial d} \mathrm e \mathbb{R}$ if it works in comments too. Thanks.
Also, if anyone else was confused, you need to drop the space between $and ‘latex’. I imagine you added the space so that you could show the syntax without it turning into LaTex output. 4. Thank you! Hugely helpful. In the example you gave it comes out pretty nice since you have a fraction on either side of the equation, but when that is not the case you get this size difference issue, that comes from using the latex inline functinality:$ $, rather than the one line:  $S_a \triangleq \frac{ S \cdot n + f}{n}$ 5. I found a work around for this issue: $S_a \triangleq$ $\frac{ S \cdot n + f}{n}$ 6. by using a different size for each side of the equation:$ latex S_a \triangleq &s=2  latex \frac{ S \cdot n + f}{n} &s=3
