Math is rendered in EMEA Support Wiki's by TeX using Mathoid. There are three methods for displaying formulas in Wikipediamediawiki: raw HTML, HTML with math templates (abbreviated here as {{tl|math}}), and a subset of LaTeX implemented with the HTML markup <syntaxhighlight lang="html5" inline><math></math></syntaxhighlight> (referred to as ''LaTeX'' in this article). Each method has some advantages and some disadvantages, which have evolved over the time with improvements of MediaWiki. The manual of style for math has not always evolved accordingly. So the how-to recommendations that appear below may differ from those of the manual of style.<ref>[[mediawikiwiki:Help:Displaying a formula |Help:Displaying a formula (Meta-Wiki)]]</ref>

For example, the famous Einstein formula can be entered in raw HTML as <syntaxhighlight lang="html5" inline>{{nowrap|''E'' {{=}} ''mc''<sup>2</sup>}}</syntaxhighlight>, which is rendered as {{nowrap|''E'' {{=}} ''mc''<sup>2</sup>}} (the template {{tl|nowrap}} is here only for avoiding a line break inside the formula). With {{tl|math}}, it can be entered as <syntaxhighlight lang="html5" inline>{{math|''E'' {{=}} ''mc''{{sup|2}}}}</syntaxhighlight>, which is rendered as {{math|''E'' {{=}} ''mc''{{sup|2}}}}. With LaTeX, it is entered as <syntaxhighlight lang="html5" inline><math>E=mc^2</math></syntaxhighlight>, and rendered as <math>E=mc^2</math>.
