     - New pages show up with an 'N' next to them (as they do in a MediaWiki installation)
     - Page deletions show up in red with a line though them
     - Uploads show with an arrow next to them along with the size of the uploaded file

@@ -94,6 +94,7 @@ Key				| Value			| Explanation
 `editing`		| boolean		| Determines whether editing is enabled. Set to false to disable disting for all users (anonymous or otherwise).
 `maxpagesize`	| integer		| The maximum number of characters allowed on a single page. The default is 135,000 characters, which is about 50 pages.
 `clean_raw_html`| boolean		| Whether page sources should be cleaned of HTML before rendering. If set to true any raw HTML will be escaped before rendering. Note that this shouldn't affect code blocks - they should alwys be escaped. It is STRONGLY recommended that you keep this option turned on, **_ESPECIALLY_** if you allow anonymous edits as no sanitizing whatsoever is performed on the HTML. If you need a feature that the markdown parser doesn't have, please open an issue. Also note that some parsers may override this setting and escape HTML sequences anyway.
+`enable_math_rendering`	| boolean	| Whether to enable client side mathematical expression parsing. When enabled LaTeX mathematical expressions can be enclosed in dollar signs like so: `$x^2$`. Turn off if you don't use it.
 `anonedits`		| boolean		| Determines whether users who aren't logged in are allowed to edit your wiki. Set to true to allow anonymous users to edit the wiki.
 `defaultpage`	| string		| The name of the page that will act as the home page for the wiki. This page will be served if the user didn't specify a page.
 `defaultaction`	| action name	| The default action. This action will be performed if no other action is specified. It is recommended you set this to "view" - that way the user automatically views the default page (see above).
