SUMMARY

The forum discussion addresses the limitations of LaTeX support for closed integrals within the platform. Specifically, while the command ##\oint## is available for single contour integrals, commands like \oiint and \oiiint for surface and volume integrals are not functional. The working commands for double and triple integrals are \iint and \iiint, respectively. This limitation is attributed to the use of MathJax for rendering LaTeX, indicating that users cannot modify these functionalities.

Does the forum have built in LaTeX for multiple closed integrals? I know that ##\oint## is for a single contour integral.

I would've expected things like \oiint and \oiiint to work for surface and volume integrals.

Indeed, \oiint and \oiiint don't work, although \iint and \iiint do.

I don't think this is something that we have any control over, because this service is provided by MathJax.
