Mathematical expressions are key to information sharing amongst engineers, scientists, data scientists, and mathematicians. Today we are pleased to announce that math expressions can be rendered in Markdown on GitHub using $$ as a delimiter for code blocks with math content or the $ delimiter for inline math expressions.
Mathematical expressions are key to information sharing amongst engineers, scientists, data scientists and mathematicians. We are pleased to announce that math expressions can now be rendered natively in Markdown on GitHub.
Support for displaying math expressions has been a highly requested feature for over 8 years. From today, you can use the $ and $$ delimiters natively in Markdown on GitHub to insert math expressions in TeX and LaTeX style syntax. This content is then rendered using the highly popular MathJax library.
For example, the following Markdown,
Martin Woodward 
Tali Herzka When $a \ne 0$, there are two solutions to $(ax^2 + bx + c = 0)$ and they are
$$ x = {-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} \over 2a} $$
will render as:
Please see the documentation for more information on including mathematical expressions in Markdown on GitHub. We can’t wait to see how this is used across the entire GitHub community!
GitHub Enterprise Server 3.5 is available now, including access to the Container registry, the addition of Dependabot, enhanced administrator capabilities, and features for GitHub Advanced Security.
We’re excited to announce some big improvements to our REST API documentation. We know developers rely on this documentation to integrate with GitHub, and we are committed to making it trustworthy, easy to find, and easy to use.
Upgrade to GHES 3.2 or newer by June 3rd to continue using GitHub Connect.
