Due to the high level of research our researchers are doing in the forums we decided to enabled the Discourse-Math plugin which supports KaTeX syntax for math formulas and equations.

**To utilize KaTeX in the forums do the following:**

Lets use the following equation for example:

- **KaTeX Expression:** `{w^0, P_0}....{w^N, P_N}`

- **Rendered Katex Expression:** {w^0, P\_0}....{w^N, P\_N}

To enable to KaTeX plugin you will enclose the expression in `$` symbols. You can use a single `$` for inline, and double `$` for blocks, see our example below.

- This is an example of an inline formula {w^0, P\_0}....{w^N, P\_N}
  - 

```auto
This is an example of an inline formula ${w^0, P_0}....{w^N, P_N}$`

```

- This is an example of a formula Block

{w^0, P\_0}....{w^N, P\_N}

- 

```auto
$$
{w^0, P_0}....{w^N, P_N}
$$

```
