LaTeX Discover the Use of LaTex for Bridge and Chess Online Discussions

AI Thread Summary
LaTeX is indeed utilized in online discussions related to bridge and chess, with users creating specific packages for displaying diagrams in blogs. However, implementing LaTeX for bridge or chess diagrams on forums may require modifications to the forum software, as current implementations, like MathJax, simplify the process by eliminating the need for users to write complete LaTeX documents. It's essential to check MathJax's capabilities to determine what types of diagrams can be supported.

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?
