How can we write number sets symbols using Mathjax? For example what's the code for Natural numbers set? I couldn't find that in a vast of Mathjax help documents,and the only one I found doesn't work: \Natural or \mathds{N}

    $\begingroup$ \Bbb{N} gives $\Bbb{N}$ here. But at least the TeX system on my laptop says that is outdated. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @JyrkiLahtonen Is there any more beautiful symbol for natural numbers set depictable by Mathjax? $\endgroup$

One way is to use \mathbb{N}. This produces:

$$\mathbb{N}$$

This is very common.

    $\begingroup$ Do you know why \Natural or \mathds{N} don't work? The latter was offered by Detexify! $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Probably \Natural and \mathds are part of some macro package, so you need to include that package to use them... $\endgroup$
