There is (somewhere) a list of equations, formulas, etc. and the corresponding Latex to create them. Allowing one to cut & paste the Latex into posts or replies. Do you know where that list is now? I can't find it. In fact, I don't see the "Search" button anymore... Did we lose the Search? Thanks!

I see the search button.

We have a quick TeX reference (Info -> Help/How-To), and there are various websites with many more examples.

Which browser are you using? At least one (very old) browser no longer displays the "Search" button or the "info" button that leads to the TeX reference.
 
Thanks, mfb!

To Nugatory: D'Oh... I see the search button now. Maybe I had the screen zoomed in too much earlier. Nearsightedness... Thanks for your help!
