AI Thread Summary
A comprehensive LaTeX editing guide for the Physics Forum is currently in development, which will aid users in formatting equations. Users can view the LaTeX source of equations by right-clicking on them, with specific instructions for both Mac and Windows operating systems provided. A link to an existing thread with additional resources is shared, although it contains a notable error regarding LaTeX tag closure. The new LaTeX guide has been officially posted as a sticky in the feedback forum. This initiative aims to enhance editing capabilities within the Physics Forum community.

Is there any document giving help with editing on the Physics Forum sites. Presumably Latex editing is available using and?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
We are actually in the process of developing an extensive latex guide.
 
Excellent news Greg

Such a document would be really helpful

In the meantime you can see the LaTeX source for any equation by clicking on it in a certain way. Under Mac OS with a one-button mouse, I control-click, then choose "Show Source" from the resulting popup menu. I don't know how this works under Windows with a "normal" mouse.
 
For windows, you can right click on the equations and select "Show Source" and you will get a window popped up showing the code for the equation. :smile:
 
As of now check https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=386951 . Note there is a nasty mistake at the very beginning of the pdf file - tex tags should be always closed with [/tеx].
