    Latex Test
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the correct formatting of LaTeX expressions for mathematical symbols and equations. Users highlight the importance of using double hashtags (##) for inline equations and double dollar signs ($$) for display mode equations. There is clarification on the proper syntax, emphasizing the use of square brackets instead of angle brackets for certain expressions. Additionally, it is noted that the app version may not display LaTeX correctly, prompting users to switch to a browser for accurate viewing. The conversation also touches on the utility of the preview post feature to verify LaTeX code before finalizing posts.

**g_{ij} = **
**g^{ij} = **
**\Gamma_{ij}^{k} = **
<tex>R^{i}_{jkl} = </tex>
<tex>R_{ij} = </tex>
<tex>R = </tex>
<tex>T_{ij} = </tex>
 
Physics news on Phys.org
##\LaTeX3e##

##g_{ij} = \\
g^{ij} = \\
\Gamma_{ij}^{k} =##
R^{i}_{jkl} =
$$R_{ij} = $$
R = \\<br /> T_{ij} =

Subscripts and superscripts seem to be working yep. even ##_\mu \xi ^\nu## stuff

use the quote button under this post to see how I did that ;)

You are using the wrong symbols. Use two # symbols to start and end an inline equation, two $ symbols to start and end a display mode equation.

Here are your expressions properly written as as inline expressions (double #): ##g_{ij} = ## ##g^{ij} = ## ##\Gamma_{ij}^{k} = ##

And here as display mode (double $):
$$g_{ij} = $$ $$g^{ij} = $$ $$\Gamma_{ij}^{k} = $$

<tex>R^{i}_{jkl} = </tex>
<tex>R_{ij} = </tex>
<tex>R = </tex>
<tex>T_{ij} = </tex>
Once again, wrong syntax. Use square brackets rather than angle brackets.

Your expressions with square brackets:
R^{i}_{jkl} =
R_{ij} =
R =
T_{ij} =

An easy way to see if you have written the correct code is using the preview post button in Go Advanced posting screen.
EDIT: And if what you are using is the app then you will need to switch to a browser to see the codes as intended.

Are you referring to viewing LaTeX in preview mode, or in actual posts? (I've never used the app.)

In the app the ##\LaTeX## just doesn't work. You just get the corresponding TeX code ie. ## \LaTeX# #
But this is in the previous version of the android app, haven't got around to updating it yet.
