 $$\displaystyle f(x) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty\hat f(\xi)\,e^{2 \pi i \xi x}\,d\xi$$
 ```
 
+To make math render in display mode, use `$$$` instead of `$$`.

 The underlying widget can also be used directly, giving more flexibility:
 
 ```
-<$latex text="\displaystyle f(x) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty\hat f(\xi)\,e^{2 \pi i \xi x}\,d\xi"></$latex>
+<$latex text="f(x) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty\hat f(\xi)\,e^{2 \pi i \xi x}\,d\xi" displayMode="true"></$latex>
 ```
 
 The KaTeX widget is provided under the name `<$latex>` and is also available under the alias `<$katex>`. It's better to use the generic `<$latex>` name unless you are running multiple ~LaTeX plugins and wish to specifically target KaTeX.
