LaTeX extension (beta) http://www.mathphyswiki.com/index.php?title=Latex_extension Firefox only, sorry. It's supposed to help with doing latex. Some issues left. It crashes sometimes. I'm taking suggestions on anything, from adding a function to a UI overhaul. I haven't even settled on a...

The Latex previewer on the Latex thread? It doesn't appear to work properly, I'll admit that I don't know much at all about latex but even when I cut and paste text from say the pdf or the forum directly into the box it comes up with a load of compuspeak and no image? Is there a reason for this...

Hi there I am writing about linear algebra and therefore I need to type matrices. I thought I could do this. \newcommand{\metar}[16]{\left [ \begin{array}{cccc} #1 & #2 & #3 & #4 \\ #5 & #6 & #7 & #8 \\ #9 & #10 & #11 & #12 \\ #13 & #14 & #15 & #16 \end{array} \right ] } But I get errors...

When I preview my posts, none of the math shows up. Instead I get a message that says "LaTex graphic is being generated. Reload this page in a moment." But reloading doesn't help at all. Is everyone having this problem or just me? Is there something I can do about it?

Doing a "project" for a class that is requiring me to do cofactor, gauss-Jordan elimination, Cramer’s by steps in a word possessed format. Having trouble getting readable matrices into the word doc. Is there a latex editor out there that let's you export to jpg/bmp? That is also totally...

Hi I am in a rather hurry so a quick reply would be most appreciated. I have to make a table in which I put all the result that I have calculated, I just do not know how to make a such thing in LaTeX. I would like a table as in Word I just do not know how to make it in LaTeX!

How do you make the limits in a triple integral look okay? I need to write something like: \iiint_{x \geq 3, y \geq 4, z \geq 5, 2z - x \geq 5} f(x, y, z)\, dx\,dy\,dz but it looks kind of silly right now.

Hey all! I'm trying to learn \LaTeX, and so far I'm doing fine. However, I would like to know if it is possible to be able to find out if a particular environment is in use at a certain point. Basically, I was wondering if something like: \isInUse{math} exists in LaTeX. Does anyone...

I am not quite satisfied with the look of my LaTeX documents. I think it has something to do with the stuff in the start (the packages, etc.). So therefore what do you include in that to make your LaTeX document look nice?

here's a test: \mbox{erf}(x) \equiv \frac{2}{\sqrt{\pi}}\int_0^x e^{-t^2} dt if this shows up in the "red letter edition", i hope the good folks making this forum happen can take notice. if the LaTeX math shows up okay, then the problem is very, very weird because a post of mine simply in...

What's a good freeware latex editor? I've been trying to install LEd, but it's not going smoothly, so I don't want to waste anymore time if it's not worth it. Any suggestions?

I'm creating a large document in LaTeX, with several figures. Some of these figures have citations within the captions, which is causing problems since I am creating a list of figures, with captions, at the start of the document. A figure that appears midway through has a reference that should...

I am using LaTeX quite a lot and I think that it is awesome stuff. However there is one little problem and that is inserting pictures into LaTeX I consider it pretty difficult to do. But a program like LaTeX which so many people use most have got an 'easy' way to insert pictures.

Does anyone know of a blog or plug-in for a blog that can do this? Linking a pdf/ps/dvi attachment for each post in my blog that I make that has even the slightest bit of math in it seems silly. At the same time, I want the math to be legible.

Hello Everyone, I have a question about publishing some data in Latex. I don't want to have to enter the data by hand into the latex document. Is there an easy way to take the data from a text file into latex and have it generate a table? Or would it be easier to just create a .eps file...

Again, I ask (as I do every time I use it, because I can never remember): How do I find the FAQ article on instructions for using Latex? I don't want the PDF, I want the PF post. I don't want a link to it, I want instructions on how I can find it myself, say from the menu. Why is it so...

As the title says... For those of you who use LaTeX, especially on Windows, which editor/front end do you use? Or, if you know of several, which one do you consider to be best?

I'm doing some web-based college-level course design in fluid mechanics. I'd like an efficient way to incorporate LaTeX equations - preferably on the fly like PF does here. I can create the equations elsewhere (e.g., using TexPoint, PowerPoint and Miktex) and then insert them into my pages but...

I've playing around with Latex lately and put together a webbased converter that can convert Latex code into either an image (like in these forums) or HTML. I think there's some Latex tags that aren't supported very well, particularly in the hml conversion. For the Latex to .png I'm using a...

Is it possible to "install" LaTeX (for windows) on, say, a USB pocketdrive? Or better yet could I just copy over all the directories from an existing computer and then be able to compile .tex files using the packages I have installed? I know you can get other pieces of software that run off...

Need Help with Latex and RevTex4! Hi there, I've written my first paper and need to submit it but getting the correct format is proving to be a HUGE nightmare that I've spend almost the last 6 hrs working on with only a little progress. Ok - I want to use the Latex format (which I...
