Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the use of TeXaide for Windows, a free program that generates LaTeX code for mathematical equations suitable for posting in the Physics Forums. Participants explore how to use the software effectively and share experiences related to LaTeX formatting within forum posts.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation
  • Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant shares a link to TeXaide for Windows, explaining that it allows users to select math symbols and generate LaTeX code for use in forum posts.
  • Another participant notes the necessity of enclosing the generated code within [ tex] and [ /tex] tags for proper formatting in the forum.
  • A participant provides a LaTeX snippet involving a partial derivative, demonstrating the output that can be generated by the program.
  • Another post includes a similar LaTeX expression and suggests that comments in LaTeX may not be compatible with the forum's formatting, indicating a potential issue with using comments in generated code.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the functionality of TeXaide for generating LaTeX code, but there are differing opinions on the handling of LaTeX comments in forum posts, with no consensus reached on the best practices for using comments.

Contextual Notes

There is an implicit assumption that users are familiar with LaTeX and its formatting requirements for the forum. Additionally, the discussion does not resolve the issue of LaTeX comments and their compatibility with the forum's display.

You can find a free program that will generate LaTex code for this forum from:

http://www.dessci.com/en/store/

The program is called: TeXaide for Windows. It's on the bottom of the screen.


All you do is select the math symbol you want to insert and when you are finished with the equation, then when you copy it to the clip board, you put Latex code in the clip board that can be pasted to the text of a post in this forum which will be translated into a math equation for others to read.

You do have to put the [ tex] and [ /tex] tags around the generated code, though.

[tex] \[<br /> \frac{{\partial B}}{{\partial t}}<br /> \][/tex] (click the image to the left)Strip off the MathType code. I think that this forum doesn't like [tex]\LaTeX[/tex]'s comments.
