Lookee what I found!

If you use the tag (without spaces of course):

[ font=symbol ](insert letter)[ /font ]

you can get math symbols to appear. I haven't tried them all yet, but here are a few:

[ font=symbol ]p[ /font ] --> p
[ font=symbol ]g[ /font ] --> g
[ font=symbol ]z[ /font ] --> z

OK, here's what we have:

A -->A
a -->a
B -->B
b -->b
C -->C
c -->c
D -->D
d -->d
E -->E
e -->e
F -->F
f -->f
G -->G
g -->g
H -->H
h -->h
I -->I
i -->i
J -->J
j -->j
K -->K
k -->k
L -->L
l -->l
M -->M
m -->m
N -->N
n -->n

that didn t work on my platform (macosx/camino or safari) at all. all i saw were roman letters.
 
i have a question what does the |= symbol represent?
 
Nor did it work on mine: Opera 6.11 on RedHat Linux 7.2
I used this trick in octave (a MATLAB clone) to get my greek letters. The latex style (with &) seems more intuitive.
 
Shoot, had I known about this...

I had to use an italicized X for "chi"
