Supported TeX/LaTeX commands

This is a long list of the TeX macros supported by MathJax. If the macro is defined in an extension, the name of the extension follows the macro name. If the extension is in brackets, the extension will be loaded automatically when the macro or environment is first used.

More complete details about how to use these macros, with examples and explanations, is available at Carol Fisher’s TeX Commands Available in MathJax page. (These were written for MathJax v2, but most of the information is still correct for v3.)

In the following tables, the first column lists the macro (or character, or environment), and the second column indicates which package(s) defines the macro. If none is listed, then it is in the base package. If the package name is in bold, then it is preloaded by the components that include the TeX input jax (except for input/tex-base, which only includes the base package). If the package name is in italics, then the package is not autoloaded by the autoload extension.

Note that most macros are not processed inside text-mode material (such as that within \text{} and other similar macros). The textmacros extension makes additional macros available in text mode, as listed in the documentation for that extention.
