how to insert fraction & integration in emacs .org file
eg. test.org
\frac{1}{2}
\sqrt{x^2-1}
when I export it into html using org-export-as-html it gives
test.html
\frac{1}{2}
\sqrt{x2-1}
I am new to org-mode.
can anyone tell me whether I am inserted equation in right way??
Thanks & Regards,
Supriya Pravin Sawant

Use the LaTeX syntax directly: $...$ to inline them and $$...$$ to
center them in the page. This works both in LaTeX and HTML.
#+TITLE: Test
$\frac{1}{2}$ and $\sqrt{x^2-1}$
or
$$\frac{1}{2}$$
$$\sqrt{x^2-1}$$
HTH,

This may work for org, but $$...$$ in particular does not work for
LaTeX. I would recommend that you don't use these delimiters: use \(
... \) for inlines and \[...\] for displays.
$$...$$ is plain TeX, not LaTeX, and according to Lamport (p. 233),
"... does not work properly." See also

$$...$$ worked for me for years in LaTeX (using tetex on GNU/Linux)
so I'm curious: is this FAQ entry still accurate? The web page says
"2012-03-29" but maybe that's just an automated time-stamp, not telling
whether this entry in particular is still relevant.
Anyway, thanks for the pointer, learning every day!

I don't know for sure, but I presume it's still valid: I abandoned
$$...$$ many years ago after reading Lamport and have used \[...\]
ever since. The breakage seems subtle, so why chance it?

It is, but the reasons are not so obvious. You can find some arguments
here :
<http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/21173/display-math-deadly-sin-in-l2tabu>
In short :
- without amsmath (but who does not load amsmath?), vertical spacing is
wrong in some circumstances (which should never happen anyway : a
displayed equation can never begin a new paragraph), and
- with amsmath, some other problems remain, most notably the global
option "fleqn" (flush left equations) does not work.
In general, $$ should never be modified by any package, so if you load a
package that should do something with displayed equations, you'd better
not use $$ $$. Unfortunately I don't know which packages are in this
situation.
So, is it worth changing your code ? I personally never use $$ (nor \[ \]) (i)
because I like having meaningful environment names, (ii) because I was
taught not to use them, and (iii) because amsmath makes it easy to
change a environement into another (e.g. change between
numbered/unnumbered, or change between {equation} and {align}).
