Insert Formulas

Energypedia also offers the possibility to include formulas in an article, however this is a bit more difficult to do.

1. Choose the "wiki text editor"

2. Click on "Mathematical formula (LaTeX)"

The Wikitext code for an example formula looks like this:

 <math>
 \operatorname{erfc}(x) =
 \frac{2}{\sqrt{\pi}} \int_x^{\infty} e^{-t^2}\,dt =
 \frac{e^{-x^2}}{x\sqrt{\pi}}\sum_{n=0}^\infty (-1)^n \frac{(2n)!}{n!(2x)^{2n}}
 </math> 

Which results in a formula like this:

[[File:]]

What you see is:

• The overall formula needs to be enclosed by [[File:]] tags.
• The formular itself is written in (rather complicated to understand for first-time users) LaTeX code
