Template:Equation
<math>{{{1}}}</math>
Template documentationPurpose
This template gives an equation passed in as numbered parameter {{{1}}} a number {{{2}}}, which is displayed in the far right column. This also creates an anchor (#equation-{{{2}}}), which can be adjusted with the id parameter.
Usage
{{Equation|1=e = m c^2|2=1}}
{{Equation|1=a^2 + b^2 = c^2|2=2}}
{{Equation|1=X(t) = V_0 t + A t^2|2=3}}
results in:
<math>e = m c^2</math> (1)
<math>a^2 + b^2 = c^2</math> (2)
<math>X(t) = V_0 t + A t^2</math> (3)
- Note: Wikisyntax (e.g. formatting templates like
{{sub}}) doesn't work in this template, use LaTeX syntax instead. - Note: When converting from a plain
<math>tag to this template, you will need to replace the pipe symbol|with{{!}}and}}with} }.
