AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the search for a list of vB codes for math symbols, which the original poster notes is no longer available in a sticky format. A user points out that there is an announcement regarding math typesetting that directs to a specific page, but this does not address the request for vB codes. The conversation highlights a preference for vB codes over LaTeX, with some users suggesting that learning LaTeX might be beneficial. Ultimately, the request for the specific vB codes remains unfulfilled, indicating a gap in available resources. The discussion underscores the need for accessible formatting options for math symbols in forums.

Could someone please direct me to the list of vB codes that are available for making math symbols. There used to be a sticky that contained them, but it's gone. (Any pointers to other info about formatting equations with vB codes would be helpful also.)

Thanks!

I'm looking for the list of vB codes that used to be in a similar sticky, not the Latex stuff.

Don't tell me it's time I learned LaTeX...

I have actually taken down the bbcode symbol gifs and the topic about the ascii symbol codes. Check out the latex thread, it's not hard to pick up the basics.

Sorry for the confusion!

Perhaps it is -- it's no harder to type \partial than it is to type &pd; after all.
