Old HTML Math Symbols - Are They Still Available?

  • Thread starter Thread starter ObsessiveMathsFreak
  • Start date Start date
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the issue of outdated shorthand HTML codes for mathematical symbols, specifically noting that the code [int] no longer produces the integral symbol. Participants are questioning whether the code has changed or if the feature is currently unavailable. There is also a request for a list of available codes that still function, with examples like [pi] being mentioned. Attempts to use variations in capitalization for other codes such as [aa], [tt], [es], and [ep] have not yielded results, indicating a potential need for updated documentation on supported shorthand codes for mathematical symbols.

Some of the old shorthand HTML codes for writing mathematical symbols don't seem to work any more.

[int] doesn't bring up an integrale symbol anymore.

Has the code changed or is this feature unavailable at present.

P.S.
Is there a list of the available codes that still work. like [pi]

Thread 'Thank you to mentors, advisors and members'

I want to thank those members who interacted with me a couple of years ago in two Optics Forum threads. They were @Drakkith, @hutchphd, @Gleb1964, and @KAHR-Alpha. I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...

Thread 'Site Usability nitpick -- Hyperlinks should be underlined'

This came up in my job today (UXP). Never thought to raise it here on PF till now. Hyperlinks really should be underlined at all times. PF only underlines them when they are rolled over. Colour alone (especially dark blue/purple) makes it difficult to spot a hyperlink in a large block of text (or even a small one). Not everyone can see perfectly. Even if they don't suffer from colour deficiency, not everyone has the visual acuity to distinguish two very close shades of text. Hover actions...

Thread 'Thank you physics forums, 20 years later'

About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
