matplotlib.sphinxext.mathmpl#

A role and directive to display mathtext in Sphinx#

Warning

In most cases, you will likely want to use one of Sphinx's builtin Math extensions instead of this one.

Mathtext may be included in two ways:

  1. Inline, using the role:

    This text uses inline math: :mathmpl:`\alpha > \beta`.

    which produces:

    This text uses inline math: .

  2. Standalone, using the directive:

    Here is some standalone math:

.. mathmpl::

    \alpha > \beta

    which produces:

    Here is some standalone math:

Options#

The mathmpl role and directive both support the following options:

fontsetstr, default: 'cm'
