Mastering LaTeX for Mathematical Formula Display

[Zman]

Hi

When posting, I am trying to display maths formulae using LaTeX.
It is so much easier to read.
When I hit 'Preview post' all I see is the raw LaTeX;

[tex]
3i\theta + 2ik\pi = i\frac{\pi}{2}
[tex]

Is there something else that I need?

the closing tag should be [ /tex] (delete the space to make it work)

$$3i\theta + 2ik\pi = i\frac{\pi}{2}$$

Brilliant, just like HTML.

Thanks robphy
