[MathJax](https://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/basic/mathjax.html) is a JavaScript display engine for mathematics that supports [[LaTeX]], MathML, and AsciiMath notation for expressing mathematical expressions. MathJax can be used in a Markdown editor like [[Obsidian]] to render mathematical expressions or in web-based applications.
MathJax renders text-based, not image-based, equations which are searchable and better suited for assistive technology to make your applications accessible for the visually impaired.
See this [basic tutorial](https://math.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/5020/mathjax-basic-tutorial-and-quick-reference) for how to write expressions that can be rendered with MathJax.
