With forestry when editing inline math equations we need to carefully watch for the rich-text editor inserting extra backslashes, munging underscores, etc.
Inline math with double-backslash-parens: \(E = mc^2 - a_i - \sum_i y_i\) works just fine.
Weirdly, inline math within dollar signs $ E = mc^2 - a_i + \sum_i y_i $ also works but the fonts are subtly different.
Normal display math enclosed in double-dollar signs:
$$
E = \sum_i m_i c_i^2
$$
display math with equation aligned (note we don't need the double-dollar sign, since the align environment triggers MathJax.
\begin{align}
x &= \sum_{i=1}^n x_i \\
&= \int_0^1 \exp(-\beta x_i)
\end{align}
Let's try some python code with highlighting:
def junk(a,b):
return a+b # just the sum
for a in [1,2,3,4]:
