Anyone know how I get LaTeX in Math Mode to work in a post. I tried putting the LaTeX commands between the "CODE" delimiters but to no avail. I used it once before on these forums but it was long ago and I forgot how to use it.

Hi,

[t e x ] your equations [ t e x ], without spaces.
You can also use 'latex' instead of 'tex'.

Merci, merci beaucoup. This will make it a lot easier to plug in formulas.
 
its actually "[t ex]" \frac{x^2}{A} "[/ t ex]"

\frac{x}{A}

you have to close the tags properly.
