Redmine LaTeX MathJax Plugin

This is a simple little plugin which allows mathematical notation to be used within Redmine.

Installation

1. Download archive and extract to #{RAILS_ROOT}/plugins (Redmine 2.x) or #{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/plugins (Redmine 1.x).
2. If you downloaded the zipball (https://github.com/process91/redmine_latex_mathjax/zipball/master), rename the extracted directory to 'redmine_latex_mathjax'
3. Restart Redmine (e.g. by restarting Apache)

Login to Redmine and go to Administration->Plugins. You should now see 'Redmine LaTeX MathJax', which indicates it is installed. Enjoy!

Usage

Anywhere on a wiki page (for example) write for inline formulas (inlineMath):

$\sum_i x_i$

and for block type formulas (displayMath):

$$\sum_i x_i$$

Hit 'Preview' or 'Save' to make the notation show up.

FAQ

Q: Why do the formulas not show up in PDFs?

A: They do not show up in PDFs that are generated by using the PDF link below the wiki pages. See Closed Issue: Formula will not display in PDF export (mboratko#1 (comment))
