Folks,

I find it very tedious writing using latex symbols on this forum, i.e. I continually have to click ‘preview’ to see that the equations turn out ok before submitting.
Is there some compiler I can use that generates the math independently of this forum then I could copy and paste onto here.

Or perhaps there is a better way...?

Thanks
bugatti
