Formatting guide

MediaWiki Syntax
For a complete guide to the syntax needed on MediaWiki, see the formatting help on the official MediaWiki page.

Be aware that indentation is denotes a certain monospaced/verbatim environment in MediaWiki, so will possibly interfere with equation formatting.

Categories and Tags
After you have written a page, you can assign it to various categories by adding  to that page.

Writing equations
By default, MediaWiki uses $$$$ tags to display maths written in $\LaTeX$ via pictures (and perhaps mathml in some browsers).

For example: $$ \zeta(k_1,\ldots,k_r) = \sum_{0 < n_1 < \cdots < n_r} \frac{1}{n_1^{k_1} \cdots n_r^{k_r}} $$ produces the following

$$ \zeta(k_1,\ldots,k_r) = \sum_{0 < n_1 < \cdots < n_r} \frac{1}{n_1^{k_1} \cdots n_r^{k_r}} $$

MathJax
Alternatively, we can use MathJax, with many standard \( \LaTeX \) environments, and features.

In \eqref{def:mzv} we give the definition of a multiple zeta value. It is defined by \begin{equation} \label{def:mzv} \zeta(k_1,\ldots,k_r) = \sum_{0 < n_1 < \cdots < n_r} \frac{1}{n_1^{k_1} \cdots n_r^{k_r}} \end{equation}

Gives the following.
