# How to use normal text along with mathjax in same line? [duplicate]

I was trying to display both normal text and mathjax generated output continuously in the same line. I've tried configuring inline technique using \$but failed. I also tried \text{...} which does not seem to work. Also used \begin \end tags. Then found somewhere \intertext suggestion. Nothing worked. • I'm fairly sure you can't do both at once Aug 5 '16 at 0:37 • e.g$n \; \text{odd}$or something else?

If you want the behavior most people want you have to tweak the configuration. – Hoot Aug 5 '16 at 0:41 • $$\frac{\text{\text}}{\text{what you want?}}$$ Aug 5 '16 at 0:41 • Could you attempt to show us? It'd be insightful Aug 5 '16 at 0:47 ## 1 Answer We know that$a=\sqrt{b}$. The above was entered as We know that \$a=\sqrt{b}\$. • \$ is disabled by default. How to enable it? Aug 5 '16 at 0:42
• @AbdullahAdilMahmud I checked your \$and it is hexadecimal 24 which is correct, so it should work. Do you have a$ sign on your keyboard or are you entering it some other way? Aug 5 '16 at 0:46
• I do. @JohnWaylandBales Aug 5 '16 at 0:47
• @AbdullahAdilMahmud That is like saying "yes" to a chocolate or vanilla question. Aug 5 '16 at 0:48
• @Abdullah Could you copy and paste the second line from martycohen beginning with 'We know . . ." into a comment and see what results? Aug 5 '16 at 0:50
• Did similar things. Actually the problem now is configuring single dollar. @John Aug 5 '16 at 0:55
• For single dollar do $\backslash$\\$ or perhaps I misunderstood your meaning. You mean by single-dollar inline math? Aug 5 '16 at 0:57
• @AbdullahAdilMahmud The math is not rendered until you hit 'enter'. Aug 5 '16 at 0:59
• Solved. Thanks all! Aug 5 '16 at 1:07
