Dear all,

For those newbie in Latex like me, I found this website: http://arachnoid.com/latex/

It displays equations immediately once you type them at the Latex editing window. No need to put the itex and /itex .

This is useful for those who tend to preview their post a lot to keep track if they're still writing the correct stuff.

Good for practice too! ^-^

Cheers!
