To include mathematical notation in Python docs generated by Sphinx, it should look like the following:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```python
|
||
|
|
class Line:
|
||
|
|
r"""
|
||
|
|
Holds the equation for a line.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
:math:`y = mx + \frac{b}{1}`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In this equation, :math:`m` is the slope and :math:`b` is the y-intercept.
|
||
|
|
"""
|
||
|
|
pass
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The content after `:math:` and inside the backticks is treated as inline math. The `r` in front of the triple quotes is used to make it a raw string and so that LaTex commands such as `\frac{}{}` operate as intended. There also cannot be a space between `:math:` and the backtick.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Sphinx configuration needs to have the `mathjax` extension loaded as well.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```python
|
||
|
|
extensions = [
|
||
|
|
# ....
|
||
|
|
"sphinx.ext.mathjax",
|
||
|
|
# ....
|
||
|
|
]
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
