AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the challenge of copying mathematical expressions from forum posts into the message editor without using the "+quote" feature. Users express frustration that standard copy-paste does not retain the LaTeX formatting, rendering the copied content unusable. A proposed solution is the introduction of a "copy-as-LaTeX" option or a "copy from source" feature, which would allow users to copy the original LaTeX code directly. This would streamline the process of sharing mathematical expressions, enhancing usability for those engaged in mathematical discussions. An example formula, ##\sum_{i=1}^{k} U_{k}##, illustrates the type of content being referenced.

Is there a good way to copy a mathematical expression from a post into the message editor without using the "+quote" feature below the post?

Of course, if I highlight a mathematical expression in post and use copy-paste into the message editor, the expression doesn't get pasted as useful LaTex. It would be nice to have a "copy-as-LaTex" option - or a "copy from source" option, meaning that it would copy the content as it was originally composed in the message editor.
