SUMMARY

The discussion centers around locating an interactive or semi-interactive LaTeX resource that was previously shared on a forum. Participants recall a tool that featured a dropdown table with LaTeX symbols and examples, distinct from Detexify, which allows users to draw symbols for identification. The LaTeX forum is identified as the likely location of the original post, with suggestions pointing towards a resource that presents symbols directly without redirecting users elsewhere. A specific link to a LaTeX resource, https://arachnoid.com/latex/, was mentioned, though it may not fully match the sought-after tool.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with LaTeX typesetting
  • Understanding of interactive web tools
  • Basic knowledge of online forum navigation

TL;DR
Latex interactive guide
Within the last year someone posted on a thread, it wasn't the main thread subject I think, a very useful seeming table of Latex which I think was interactive or semi-interactive. I thought note that and didn't and now can't find it. It would be useful to me right now, and think it would be useful to many others. Can anyone recall it?

I'm not sure what you are after. The only thing that comes to mind is detexify, which allows you do draw something and it finds the ##\LaTeX## symbol closest to it.
 
It wasn't that. There was I think a drop down table in it.

Do you remember which area of PF it was in? In Math or Physics or Feedback or in the LaTeX forum?

I believe the LaTeX forum.
 
Was this the one with a lot of pop-up tables of examples for various selections? (I remember that one as useful...I may be able to relocate it! maybe)

Could be, not sure, but if it's useful OK anywa.
 
This is the best I could find. I don't think it is the same as my memory but the list of ready made eqns looks similar as does the color scheme

No I think it was more all there with symbols in front of you. Nothing where you had to go somewhere else. Maybe LaTeX wasn't the main subject of the thread and it was just number x post, not leading.
