Hi.

I have two questions:

1) Is there a latex tag anywhere? I see [STRIKE] tag, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v= tag,
tag...

2) The preview button still duplicates the 3 bold questions. Is there a way to fix that? I remember when I joined about 5 months ago it had that issue and I thought for sure it would be fixed by now.

From what I understand removing the problem with duplicated template is not economical.
 
i know the latex tag is [tex][/tex] but i meant to ask if the latex tag appears above with the other tags. Meaning, if i click on the latex icon, [tex][/tex] automaticlly appears without me having to write it every time.

Does that exist?
 
As far as I know - no.

In some subforums in advanced editor there is an additions sigma icon, that helps you edit LaTeX, but it doesn't add tex tags.
 
Thanks. Is there a place where I can recommend it to the admins?
 
You already did :smile:
 
If you click the ∑ icon for LaTeX, the tags will be added when you select an item from the LaTeX menu that appears.
 
I learn every day.
 
Thanks guys.

I also recommend adding a like button and a thank you button. It'll make things more fun and social around here!
