what you are asking is nearly impossible. Since the forums use LaTex for equations you will have to have some kind of tutorial in LaTex. See this thread (http://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=8997) for the quick tutorial. You can also click on a thread to get a pop up window with the text entered to create that equation.

basically the easiest thing you need to know is just add [ tex] (without space) at the start and end the statement with a [/ tex] without the space.

For the specifics for a particular equation just look at someone elses work

here are some basic though

the \ tell whatever is after it to be trasnlated into a something for example
\pi
\pi

it is also how you do fractions
\frac{4x}{2x}

\frac{4x}{2x}=2

the final thing is the { } which are used for grouping so

5^{3x}
5^{3x}
instead of
5^3x
5^3x
