Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the use of LaTeX formatting in the title box of forum posts, specifically whether it is appropriate or possible to include LaTeX expressions like ##CH_2## or ##E=mc^2## in the title.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested
  • Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants suggest that LaTeX can be used in the title box in the same way as in the post, using two # as delimiters.
  • Others argue that the title section is meant for a description of the post rather than the content itself, recommending a more descriptive title without equations.
  • A participant notes that there could be valid reasons to include LaTeX in the title, citing examples like "What does ##E=mc^2## mean?"
  • There is a repetition of the idea that LaTeX may not be necessary in the title for certain types of questions.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on whether LaTeX should be used in titles, with no consensus reached on its appropriateness or necessity.

Contextual Notes

Some participants emphasize the distinction between the title's purpose and the content of the post, indicating that the appropriateness of LaTeX may depend on the context of the question being asked.

The same way as you would in the post. Using two # as delimiters. I changed your title to reflect this with the \LaTeX command (giving ##\LaTeX##).

I'm not sure it's possible. That section is for a description of the post, not the content of the post. So you should put something like "Chemistry question about equations", not the actual equation.

Edit: Orodruin beat me to it, and knows more as well.

There can still be valid reasons to use LaTeX in the title, such as "What does ##E=mc^2## mean?"

Of course, but I noticed OP's question was related to something in which LaTeX was not needed in the title.
