Title: BBCode and use of LaTex
Post by: cKleinhuis on April 21, 2010, 11:48:54 PM
Several enhancements to your "text" postings can be made through the use of BBCode.  And most of these options are available through the toolbar area just above the Message editing area, very similar to the choices available within a test editor application such as MS-Word.  Just select the text you wish to enhance, then use one of the toolbar icons to make it Bold, Underlined, Colored, etc...  (Usually a "tooltip" will be displayed when you float your mouse pointer over each icon button.)

But for LaTex, a few Examples provided here as documentation should get you started.

To show "x" to the second power, use the following
Code:
[tex]x^2[/tex]
To Produce this result:
x^2


To create a more complex formulae, use the following
Code:
[tex]z_{n+1}=z_{n} ^2+c[/tex]
To Produce this result:
z_{n+1}=z_{n} ^2+c
