MathJax: Tex and LaTeX Math delimiters

• https://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/input/tex/delimiters.html#tex-delimiters

MathJax's TeX preprocessor by default uses \( and \) to delimit inline math expressions. They do not use $.

The obvious reason is since $ happens to be a common character that has meaning in common usage and is regularly used on its own, and any content that that uses $ to denote currency for example would have to now escape it.

This page shows how to change the default delimiters using some JavaScript

window.MathJax = {
  tex: {
    inlineMath: [['$', '$'], ['\\(', '\\)']]
  }
};
