A (Very Small) Feature Request

[Dapthar]

I, and countless other posters in the Mathematics forums would greatly appreciate it if there were a "Wrap [math] tags around selected text" button in the Message Editor Interface window, similar to those for the "Bubble" and "bold" tags, for it would allow equations to be typed much more easily.

 

Thanks,

Good request. I was thinking of a LaTeX bar with the most commonly used commands (\frac, \int, \lim, etc) but I never got around to it.

[Dapthar]

So, has there been any progress on the "Wrap [math] tags around selected text" button as of yet?

[Dave]

Not yet. Sayo's probably the one to do it and he's on holiday until sometime next week.

i like the quick links for LaTex. good idea. it should have the greek symbols, ^2, and \sqrt also

[bloodhound]

well i find the tagging easier than looking around a panel for a button.

[Dave]

LaTeX has so many commands it'd be impossible to list them all anyway. But I think we should probably have a panel to the right with things like \frac, \int, ^{}, etc.

 

I'll see if I can create the code and then get blike to upload it.

Sorry I just now got to this thread. I'll see if I can get the button set up.
