SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on using the Codecogs LaTeX equation editor for easily copying and pasting LaTeX code in forums. Users can access the editor at Codecogs, where they can hover over equations to obtain the LaTeX code. To insert this code into forums, users should use the format [/tex] --- insert LaTeX code here --- [/tex], ensuring to remove the backslash from the first tag. Additionally, a bug is noted regarding the incorrect LaTeX code for the symbol \leftrightharpoons, which should be corrected to avoid confusion.

Here is a little site with latex mod available.
http://www.codecogs.com/latex/eqneditor.php

Hover over them, and at the bottom of the page there is an option for latex...
Just copy that, and then back in the forum use

Code:
[/tex] --- insert whatever you get from that box ---[/tex] (rermove the backslash / from the first tag

I find this very handy compare to the one button codes we have here.

PS: I just just the code tag to include the tex, but surprisingly the tex does not get filter in the tex code tag.

Piggybacking onto this thread to point out a bug in the LaTeX buttons - I'd never used them before and the above post pushed into finally trying them. The symbol [itex]\leftrightharpoons[/itex] has the wrong LaTeX code (it should be \leftrightharpoons, instead of \Updownarrow). This needs to be fixed.
