I was wondering, where do we keep the instructions for certain tasks

such as:
how to enter equations in using LaTeX,
how to enter hypertext
how to embed a picture so that it shows up visibly on our post,
how to embed a youtube video, so that it shows up, in interactive form, on our post.

I suspect we have instructions posted on these and other tasks, but I missing where to access them..
(So far, I have only been guessing, based on what others have done, but my methods seem tedious compared with the tasks I am trying to accomplish).

There's no single place where all of these are described. It would probably be a good idea to put links/hyperlinks into the forum Guidelines sticky.

Anyway...

Latex: https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=8997

Hotkeys:

BB Code (incl. images, youtube, etc.):
https://www.physicsforums.com/misc.php?do=bbcode

Smilies:

Most of these can be accessed directly from the options available in the "Go Advanced" posting window.

Thanks for your suggestions..

In following them, I also found this one that covers, equations, images, attachments, smilies, (predated youtube embedding) https://www.physicsforums.com/faq.php

I recall we had this link on our front page, but don't see it there now.
