{{Update| With the update to MediaWiki 1.43.0 UniWiki changed from using SimpleMathJax to [[:Mediawikiwiki:Extension:Math|Math]]. Due to there being some differences in the mark-up this article need some attention. }}

UniWiki ~~iki~~ allows adding equations using <math>\LaTeX</math> markup by using [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SimpleMathJax SimpleMathJax]. Just place the expression in between <nowiki><math></math></nowiki> and it will be rendered.

You will be expected to learn to use Latex from other sources. This page contains only some useful information and formatting guidelines for use on this wiki.

For more in depth reading you can read the [~~[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Mathematics|~~https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Mathematics]]. But do note that UniWiki uses different math extension than Wikipedia.

Long equations can be written on multiple lines ~~in multiple separate math tags~~ and they will be rendered as one continuous equation. This is good for long equations that would be hard to edit otherwise.
