This subpage provides documentation for Template:Math.
The {{math}}
template is a wrapper for <math>...</math>
tags which are a part of Math extension. It is used to change the default rendering colors (black text on white background) to custom ones that fit this wiki.
For a detailed guide see Wikipedia:Help:Displaying a formula.
Usage
Place a formula as a value of a parameter formula
of {{math}}
. For example:
{{math|formula= x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 1 }}
produces:
While using default <math>...</math>
tags like this:
<math> x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 1 </math>
produces:
Advanced usage
With this template it is possible to use inline queries such as the parser functions #ask
, #show
and other extensions such as #expr
. For example:
{{Math|formula= Enfeeble Base Radius - Maximum Leech Rate Per Second + Maximum Endurance Charges = {{#show: Enfeeble |?Has primary radius=}} - {{#expr:{{#ask: [[-Has subobject::Character]] [[Has stat id::maximum_life_leech_rate_%_per_minute]] |?Has stat value#= |mainlabel=- |limit=1}} /60}} + {{SMW character query|stat=max_endurance_charges}} = {{#expr: {{#show: Enfeeble |?Has primary radius=}} - {{#expr:{{#ask: [[-Has subobject::Character]] [[Has stat id::maximum_life_leech_rate_%_per_minute]] |?Has stat value#= |mainlabel=- |limit=1}} /60}} + {{SMW character query|stat=max_endurance_charges}} }} }}
yields: Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): \color[RGB]{163,141,109} Enfeeble Radius - Maximum Leech Rate Per Second + Maximum Endurance Charges = {{#show: Enfeeble |?Has primary radius=}} - <strong class="error">Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "{".</strong> + [[:Template:SMW character query]] = <strong class="error">Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "{".</strong>
Troubleshooting
Error with multiple braces
Problem
Placing multiple braces together (e.g. }}}
) causes errors. For example, the following code:
{{math|formula= DR(A, D_{raw}) = {A \over A + 10 * D_{raw}} }}
- Failed to parse (syntax error): \color[RGB]{163,141,109} DR(A, D_{raw}) = {A \over A + 10 * D_{raw
}}
Solution
In order to prevent this either space braces like this:
{{math|formula= DR(A, D_{raw}) = {A \over A + 10 * D_{raw} } }}
or use the following templates:
{{math|formula= DR(A, D_{raw}) = {A \over A + 10 * D_{raw{{))}} }}
Absolute value denotation
Problem
Absolute values are usually denoted |x|. However using |
in templates will result in the following issue.
{{math|formula= |x| }}
produces:
Solution
Use Template:!:
{{math|formula= {{!}}x{{!}} }}
produces:
