Open this page: admin.<your-site>/articles (replace <your-site> with your site address). Then open the one you want.

Steps

Code block: open Insert, then More blocks, then Code block. Choose the Language and optionally a File name (optional).
Maths formula: choose Maths formula (block), or Inline maths inside a sentence. Type the Formula (LaTeX), for example x^2 + y^2 = z^2.
Add a Spoken description (screen readers) that says the formula in words.

"This formula uses a command that isn’t allowed (links, files, HTML or macro definitions)." Only safe LaTeX is allowed. Remove the command.
"An opening or closing brace is missing its partner." Unbalanced braces. Add the missing brace.

Why add a spoken description?

So readers using a screen reader can understand the formula.

Which maths syntax do I use?

LaTeX, for example x^2 + y^2 = z^2. Unsafe commands such as links or files are not allowed.
