AI Thread Summary
To write equations correctly, users must enclose their LaTeX code with double dollar signs or use double hashes for inline formulas. The issue with the preview not displaying formulas often arises from incorrect spacing within the brackets. Attaching a photo of formulas is acceptable if users struggle with LaTeX formatting. Proper syntax is crucial for successful equation rendering in discussions. Understanding these guidelines will enhance clarity in mathematical communication.

Or double hashes for inline formulas. E.g.

With ##a = 1## we have:
$$x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 -4c}} {2}$$
