# gensymb

The gensymb extension implements the `gensymb` style package from LaTeX. It provides a number of macros for unit notation. See the CTAN page for more information and documentation of gensymb.

Note that not all the characters for this package are yet included in the MathJax fonts so output might vary on clients.

This package is not autoloaded, so you must request it explicitly if you want to use it. To load the gensymb extension, add `'[tex]/gensymb'` to the `load` array of the `loader` block of your MathJax configuration, and add `'gensymb'` to the `packages` array of the `tex` block.

    window.MathJax = {
      loader: {load: ['[tex]/gensymb']},
      tex: {packages: {'[+]': ['gensymb']}}
    };

You can configure the autoload extension to load gensymb via

    window.MathJax = {
      tex: {
        autoload: {
          gensymb: ['celsius', 'degree', 'micro', 'ohm', 'perthousand']
        }
      }
    };

Alternatively, use `\require{gensymb}` in a TeX expression to load it dynamically from within the math on the page, if the require extension is loaded.
