Can I Create Posts in LyX/LaTeX Format on This Site?

In summary, the conversation discusses the possibility of creating posts in LyX/LaTeX format on the forum. It is mentioned that latex is enabled on the forums and can be formatted manually or using the editor. It is also noted that embedding equations can be done using [tex] or [itex] tags. However, there is uncertainty about the accessibility of the text to forum search and Google. It is also mentioned that producing whole posts in LaTeX would be frowned upon.

I am brand new here. This looks like a very good site.

In the spirit of playing within the rules, and the interest of clarity, rigorousness, and hopefully to simplify usefullness of future posts, is there a way to create posts in LyX/LaTeX format (q.v. attached pdf file)?

Yes, latex is enabled on the forums. You can either format it manually yourself using [noparse] [tex][/tex] [/noparse] tags, or you can use the editor, which is available by pressing the sigma icon in the reply window.

I've never seen anybody produce a whole post (including text) in LaTeX, but I suppose it could be done by wrapping it in [ tex] [ /tex ] tags (after removing the spaces from inside the tags). However, I don't know if the text would be accessible to the forum search function, or Google.

Yeah that would be terrible waste of resources and we'd frown upon doing it.

[tex] is comparable to \[. If you want to embed equations in a paragraph, use [itex], which is comparable to $.
