Title: Question: TEX editing
Post by: BillO on August 02, 2018, 05:09:36 PM: Does this forum software have TeX or LaTeX support? Can it be enabled?

We get asked a lot to 'do the math' and it would be far easier if such support, or something similar was available.

$f%28x%29%3D%5Cint_%7B-%5Cinfty%7D%5Ex%20e%5E%7B-t%5E2%7Ddt$

$x%3D%5Cfrac%7B-b%5Cpm%5Csqrt%7Bb%5E2-4ac%7D%7D%7B2a%7D$
