This is a test to see if `KaTex `_ is working.
.. math::
f(x) = \pi r^2\\
The answer is no, but mathjax does seem to work.
Getting it Working
------------------
Edit the ``conf.py`` file.
#. Uncomment the second ``MATHJAX_CONFIG`` default (the one with actual content instead of an empty string).
#. Set ``EXTRA_HEAD_DATA`` to the mathjax CDN.
.. code:: python
EXTRA_HEAD_DATA = '''
'''
.. note:: The `documentation `_ says that you need to add the ``mathjax`` tag to the post, but the ``conf.py`` has ``HIDDEN_TAGS = ['mathjax']`` which I think makes it work anyway. The documentation also makes no mention of the need for the CDN (or installing the javascript) but nikola doesn't seem to come with `mathjax` otherwise.
