    Latex Mode
In summary, to use LaTeX in Math Mode in a post, you can use the "CODE" delimiters and put your equations between "[t ex]" and "[/ t ex]", without spaces. Alternatively, you can use the "latex" tag instead of "tex". Remember to close the tags properly for your equations to display correctly.

Anyone know how I get LaTeX in Math Mode to work in a post. I tried putting the LaTeX commands between the "CODE" delimiters but to no avail. I used it once before on these forums but it was long ago and I forgot how to use it.

Hi,

[t e x ] your equations [ t e x ], without spaces.
You can also use 'latex' instead of 'tex'.

Merci, merci beaucoup. This will make it a lot easier to plug in formulas.

its actually "[t ex]" \frac{x^2}{A} "[/ t ex]"

[tex]\frac{x}{A}[/tex]

you have to close the tags properly.

Click the above graphic to see.

LaTeX is a powerful typesetting language commonly used in scientific and mathematical fields to display complex equations and formulas. In order to use LaTeX in math mode on a post, you will need to ensure that the post is formatted correctly. This includes using the "CODE" delimiters to indicate that the content within them should be interpreted as code.

If you have tried this and it is not working, there may be a few potential issues to consider. First, make sure that you are using the correct syntax for LaTeX commands. This can be found in various resources online, such as the LaTeX Wikibook or the official LaTeX website.

Another possibility is that the platform you are using may not support LaTeX formatting. In this case, you may need to use a plugin or extension that allows for LaTeX formatting on that specific platform.

If you have used LaTeX before on these forums and it worked, but is not working now, it is possible that there have been updates or changes to the platform that may have affected the functionality of LaTeX. In this case, it may be helpful to reach out to the platform's support team for assistance.

In summary, in order to use LaTeX in math mode on a post, make sure to use the correct syntax and formatting, and consider using a plugin or reaching out to the platform's support team for assistance if needed.
