How can I type in latex style symbols when I am adding new posts to my threads
 
Physics news on Phys.org
You can quote my post to see how you can add latex. In line latex: [itex]F_{\mu\nu}=\partial_\mu A_\nu - \partial_\nu A_\mu[/itex]

And centered latex:

[tex]R_{\mu\nu}-\frac{1}{2}g_{\mu\nu}R=\frac{8\pi G}{c^4}T_{\mu\nu}[/tex]

Ok you have all helped well. I will close thread. How do I close the thread?
 
No need to close it, unless other people start jumping in and arguing about something irrelevant, or doing something else that breaks our rules. After a few days it will "fall off the bottom of the page" naturally.
