Mathematical notation in a Hugo project can be enabled by using third party JavaScript libraries.

In this example we will be using KaTeX.

  • To enable KaTeX globally, set the parameter math to true in a project’s configuration file as follows.

    • config.toml

      [params]
    math = true

    • config.yaml

      params:
    math: true

To enable KaTeX on a per page basis, include the parameter math: true in Front Matter of Markdown content file as follows

For example here is the code for a linear time series regression equation:

$$y_t = \beta_0 + \beta_1 x_t + \epsilon_t$$

These are block equations:

$$y_t = \beta_0 + \beta_1 x_t + \epsilon_t$$
