Using LaTeX mathematics

Scientific applications frequently have many input data that are defined through mathematics and where the typesetting on the web page should be as close as possible to the typesetting where the mathematics is documented. In the present example we would like to typeset \( A \), \( b \), \( w \), and \( T \) with italic font as done in LaTeX. Fortunately, native LaTeX typesetting is available in HTML through the tool MathJax. Our template view_tex.html enables MathJax. Formulas are written with standard LaTeX inside \( and \), while equations are surrounded by $$. Here we use formulas only:

<script type="text/x-mathjax-config">
MathJax.Hub.Config({
  TeX: {
     equationNumbers: {  autoNumber: "AMS"  },
     extensions: ["AMSmath.js", "AMSsymbols.js", "autobold.js", "color.js"]
  }
});
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
 src="http://cdn.mathjax.org/mathjax/latest/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS-MML_HTMLorMML">
</script>

This web page visualizes the function \(
u(t) = Ae^{-bt}\sin (w t), \hbox{ for } t\in [0,T]
\).

<form method=post action="">
<table>
  {% for field in form %}
    <tr>
    <td>\( {{ field.name }} \)</td><td>{{ field(size=12) }}</td>
    <td>{{ field.label }}</td>
