How to add Latex to Jekyll
Step 1. Set markdown engine to kramdown
In your _config.yml change the engine to kramdown as follows
# Build settings
markdown: kramdown
remote_theme: mmistakes/minimal-mistakes
...
Step 2. Modify scripts.html
We are now going to modify scripts.html and append the following content:
<script type="text/javascript" async
src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mathjax/2.7.5/latest.js?config=TeX-MML-AM_CHTML">
</script>
<script type="text/x-mathjax-config">
MathJax.Hub.Config({
extensions: ["tex2jax.js"],
jax: ["input/TeX", "output/HTML-CSS"],
tex2jax: {
inlineMath: [ ['$','$'], ["\\(","\\)"] ],
displayMath: [ ['$$','$$'], ["\\[","\\]"] ],
processEscapes: true
},
"HTML-CSS": { availableFonts: ["TeX"] }
});
</script>
Step 3. That’s it!
If you did everything properly then this should render nicely:
\[e^{i \pi} = -1\]
