SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the inability to view LaTeX-formatted equations in a forum environment. Users reported that equations such as \xi = x - vt and \frac {\partial x} {\partial y} were displayed as plain text rather than rendered properly. The solution provided indicates that users must enclose their equations with either ## or $$ tags to achieve the correct formatting. For example, using ##\xi## or $$\xi$$ will render the equation correctly.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of LaTeX syntax for mathematical equations
  • Familiarity with forum formatting guidelines
  • Basic knowledge of how to use inline and block elements in HTML
  • Experience with troubleshooting display issues in web applications
NEXT STEPS
  • Research proper LaTeX syntax for various mathematical expressions
  • Learn about forum-specific formatting rules for LaTeX
  • Explore tools for testing LaTeX rendering outside of forums
  • Investigate common troubleshooting techniques for web display issues
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for forum users, educators, and students who need to display mathematical equations correctly using LaTeX in online platforms.

Summary: Unable to view equations in proper format

Hi
I am unable to view equations in proper format even after using latex tags shown in help.
For example :
\xi = x - vt
is shown as typed
Again
\frac {\partial x} {\partial y} =
is shown as typed

Please help

TIA

You have to write ## or $$ before and after equations. So \xi appears as \xi. But ##\xi## appears as ##\xi## and $$\xi$$ appears as $$\xi$$
 
Thank you
