    Latex Window

SUMMARY

The introduction of the LaTeX Command Window on Physics Forums (PF) significantly enhances the user experience for mathematical formatting. Members, including contributor -Job-, have noted both the integration of LaTeX and existing performance issues, such as non-functional 'Common Snippets' and the inability to collapse categories in Firefox. The community expresses a strong desire for a LaTeX preview feature, which is currently under development, with Warren indicating he will address the preview functionality soon.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with LaTeX syntax and commands
  • Basic understanding of web browser functionalities, particularly in Firefox
  • Knowledge of forum software, specifically vBulletin
  • Experience with mathematical notation and formatting
NEXT STEPS
  • Research LaTeX command usage and best practices for mathematical expressions
  • Explore the capabilities of vBulletin for custom plugin development
  • Investigate existing LaTeX preview tools, such as LaTeXLab
  • Learn about integrating SVG and interactive visualizations in web forums
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for forum administrators, educators, mathematicians, and anyone interested in enhancing their online mathematical communication through LaTeX.

On a related note,
I found this little "Google gadget" www.google.com/ig/directory?source=gapi&num=24&url=http://www.sitmo.com/gg/latex/latex.xml
which appears to interact with a website to interactively regenerate rendered-LaTeX as you type.

To use it without "adding it to your website [or to your iGoogle homepage]", go here: http://www.sitmo.com/latex/

It doesn't have as many symbols as -Job-'s great LaTeX Command Window... but the [probably server-intensive] interactive LaTeX rendering is cool.

This is \tau oo \gamma oo\delta!

Thanks a lot, X\rho oo\tau!


P.S. -Job-, the tex code for omicron is just o; \o displays phi.

Using Latex on PF has now never been easier! Thanks to the hard work of member https://www.physicsforums.com/member.php?u=40201". For the meantime I am interested in any performance issues you may have related to the feature.

At this moment there is no Sigma icon.
What happened?

It's there. It's just not available in every forum, apparently. (Such as this one.)

<br /> S(\widehat \alpha, \widehat \beta_\text{R}) = \min_{(a, b) \in R^{p+1}} \sum_{i=1}^n \psi \left(\frac{\text{R}(y_i-(a+b \mathbf{x}_i))}{n+1}\right)(y_i - (a+b \mathbf{x}_i)) <br />

<br /> \sqrt n \left( \widehat \beta_\text{R} - \beta_0\left) \xrightarrow{\mathcal{D}} n_p \left(\mathbf 0, \Xi^{-1}\right)<br />
