why can't i write in LaTex i follow all the procedure. and it still doesn't show up right. for example

[tex]a=\frac{m1*g*sin\theta} {cos\theta} [\tex][/tex]
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Use a '/' instead of '\' in the closing tag,

for example [ tex ] a=\frac{m1*g*sin\theta} {cos\theta} [ /tex ]

[tex]a=\frac{m1*g*sin\theta} {cos\theta}[/tex]

Without the spaces in the tags. Also, you can click on the image to look at what was typed.
 
thanks mattmns
 
Im just trying out something:

[ tex ] a=\frac{m1} {cos/theta} [ /tex ]
 
still trying:

[tex]a=\frac{m1} {cos\theta}[/tex]
 
[tex]LaTeX=cool \int \oint<br /> \alpha<br /> \beta<br /> \gamma<br /> \delta<br /> \epsilon<br /> \zeta<br /> \eta<br /> \theta<br /> \iota<br /> \kappa<br /> \lambda<br /> \mu<br /> \nu<br /> \xi<br /> \omicron<br /> \pi<br /> \rho<br /> \sigma<br /> \tau<br /> \yupsilon<br /> \phi<br /> \chi<br /> \psi<br /> \omega[/tex]
 
a = \frac{ m_1 g \sin \theta }{ \cos \theta }

[tex]a = \frac{ m_1 g \sin \theta }{ \cos \theta}[/tex]
