# 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. ## marked as duplicate by T.

In any case I think by default one has to use $$ and $$. If you want the behavior most people want you have to tweak the configuration. – Hoot Aug 5 '16 at 0:41 • $$\frac{\text{\text}}{\text{what you want?}}$$ – Simply Beautiful Art Aug 5 '16 at 0:41 • Could you attempt to show us? It'd be insightful – Simply Beautiful Art 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? – Abdullah Al Mahmud 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? – John Wayland Bales Aug 5 '16 at 0:46
• For single dollar do $\backslash$\\$ or perhaps I misunderstood your meaning. You mean by single-dollar inline math? – John Wayland Bales Aug 5 '16 at 0:57
