SUMMARY

LaTeX is effectively utilized in online discussions related to bridge and chess, particularly for creating diagrams. Users have developed specific LaTeX packages to enhance the presentation of bridge deals in blogs. The implementation of LaTeX on platforms like Physics Forums simplifies the process, eliminating the need for users to write complete LaTeX documents. However, adapting bridge or chess diagrams into forum software necessitates modifications, as current implementations rely on MathJax for rendering LaTeX.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of LaTeX syntax and packages
  • Familiarity with MathJax for rendering LaTeX
  • Basic knowledge of online forum software architecture
  • Experience with diagram creation in LaTeX
NEXT STEPS
  • Research LaTeX packages specifically designed for bridge and chess diagrams
  • Explore MathJax documentation to understand its capabilities and limitations
  • Investigate forum software options that support LaTeX integration
  • Learn how to create and customize diagrams using LaTeX
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for web developers, forum administrators, and enthusiasts in bridge and chess looking to enhance their online discussions with LaTeX-rendered diagrams.

I'm curious whether LaTex is commonly used to display online discussions of bridge and chess? (Yes, if I investigated online Bridge or chess forums, I'd find the answer. However I hope someone who knows will save me the trouble.)

Just a casual search for "LaTex for bridge deals" shows that people have created "packages" in LaTex to do diagrams in their blogs.

With respect to the situation on physicsforums, my impression is that the implementation of LaTex is done in a manner that dispenses with the need for people to write all the stuff needed to define a proper LaTex document. So the implementation of bridge or chess diagrams would require changes in the forum software. Is that correct?
