Quick LaTeX Tutorial

[Dave]

Was thinking of writing a little math toolbar thing so that you can just click on the math symbols and the latex code would be inserted into the textbox.

[blike]

That would be awesome dave. ^

[Dave]

I've also got a copy of the latest latexrender code, so I'll post that off to you soon with some instructions blike. I've managed to fix a few of the problems we have when quoting equations; the images produced are now transparent with a very minor reduction in quality from what we have atm, although it requires a little more CPU

how about subscript how to type it.

It is very useful in chemistry area

[Primarygun]

how to install latex, it needed to put many file inside.

Would anyone upload the whole for me ?

[Dave]

Read the initial post: subscripts are generated by using _

 

For example, A_{n^2} produces: [math]A_{n^2}[/math]

Dear Dave

 

I have tried numerous times to use the latex code for Matrix and Align equations. When I use the command for matrix I get:

 

[math]\begin{matrix} w & x \\ annoyed & z \end{matrix}[/math]

 

and for align:

 

[math]\begin{align} w & x \\ annoyed & z \end{align}[/math]

 

As you can see the ampersand persists. I have read a few 'latex' manuals and tried various code combinations. Could you or someone else be able to provide some information to overcome this problem.

 

Regards

Gauss

[Dave]

The problem is that when you type the & into vB, it cleverly converts it into the html symbol for an ampersand; namely & which is why you're having problems. When I get back from holiday, I'll fix it; it's a fairly simple fix.

 

Thanks for highlighting the problem though.

Dear Dave

 

Thanks for the reply, I had a thought that might be the case.

Just thought I'd post this link http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/symbols/comprehensive/symbols-a4.pdf. It's a relatively small, (approximately 2.3 MB) comprehensive set of symbol tables for [math]\LaTeX[/math] and some of its add ons.

 

The page I got it from is here: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/symbols/comprehensive/symbols-a4.pdf.

i love the way gauss writes his post like a letter. and ends it with Regards Gauss....

How would I write out something like [math]\sqrt{25} = 5[/math]? How would I put the [math]5[/math] above the [math]\sqrt{25}[/math]?

[noz92]

And what about aproximatly? How do you put that symbol in?

[bloodhound]

here is a really short guide. with most of the notation in there

[noz92]

Thank you.

[Dave]

Use \frac{5}{\sqrt{25}} - the first argument of \frac lets you specify the numerator, the second will give you the denominator.

[noz92]

Why isn't the latex working right now?

[Dave]

I saw on the announcements that blike's upgraded some stuff. He probably forgot to put the latex code back in.

[noz92]

What was he upgrading that he needed to take the LaTeX out?

[noz92]

Okay, forget the question above, I already saw the tread. And I already PM him.

[e(ho0n3]

It's been a while now and the [math][/math] tags are still not working. What's going on?!

[ydoaPs]

could someone please post all of the greek letters so no one has to guess at the abbreviation LaTeX uses?
