What is the MathJax syntax to produce a big slash through a formula? I've seen it used but can't find an example now.

2$\begingroup$ @draks... Here is a better version: $$\require{cancel}\cancel{\color{#01020b}{\rlap{\displaystyle\,\int}{\sum}}}$$ $\endgroup$– user93957Commented Jan 29, 2014 at 12:38

It's probably the \cancel command.
\require{cancel}
\dfrac{\cancel{9}}{2t}\cdot\dfrac{t}{\cancel{9}}
will produce: $$\require{cancel} \dfrac{\cancel{9}}{2t}\cdot\dfrac{t}{\cancel{9}}$$ For a slightly better appearance you can use the following code:
\require{cancel}
\dfrac{\color{red}{\cancel{\color{black}{9}}}}{2t}
\cdot
\dfrac{t}{\color{red}{\cancel{\color{black}{9}}}}
which produces: $$ \require{cancel} \dfrac{\color{red}{\cancel{\color{black}{9}}}}{2t} \cdot \dfrac{t}{\color{red}{\cancel{\color{black}{9}}}}$$
There is also the \cancelto command:
\require{cancel}
\cancelto{\dfrac{\sqrt{x^2+x+2}}{\sqrt{\beta+\alpha}}}{1}
$$ \require{cancel} \cancelto{1}{\dfrac{\sqrt{x^2+x+2}}{\sqrt{\beta+\alpha}}}$$

$\begingroup$ I tried \cancel but the parser didn't know it. Now I see from your example that I needed \require{cancel} first! didn't know about that. Thanks! FOLLOWUP: Is this just how you use packages? $\endgroup$– MPWCommented Jan 29, 2014 at 12:21

$\begingroup$ @MPW You're welcome! But I don't understand what you mean by your last question. $\endgroup$– user93957Commented Jan 29, 2014 at 12:37

$\begingroup$ The equivalent of LaTeX \usepackage? Or maybe LaTeX already has a \require command? I'm a little rusty... $\endgroup$– MPWCommented Jan 29, 2014 at 12:55

$\begingroup$ @MPW As far as I know (my LaTeX knowledge is very poor) the
\usepackageand\requireare equivalent. (I'm maybe wrong). $\endgroup$– user93957Commented Jan 30, 2014 at 12:33 -

1$\begingroup$ I believe
\requireis a MathJax command. It fills roughly the same role that\usepackagedoes in LaTeX. $\endgroup$– David ZCommented Feb 2, 2014 at 0:50
