Please can we have some kind of maths support?
FES.org never got around to it. Can we make it happen here?
-
Maths support? What is that, a special script to type in formulas?

Pretty much. Is your google broken?

Google placed FES at 7th in the rankings. Do you think I trust it anymore?
Also something like this would be cool to have in this forum.

Yeah, we can make this place way better. We have admins that give a shit.

Should be easily doable. I'll confer with Parsifal when he's around, but mimeTeX (http://www.forkosh.com/mimetex.html) seems like a good and quick-to-setup option.

Bump so I don't forget.

Mathtex has made me never want to read C code ever again. That is all.

Sorry it took a little while to get this going. I've been feeling totally crap the past month.
But now, at long last, we finally have LaTeX support on FES! Just enter your TeX like so:
[tex]\sqrt{69}[/tex]
And it comes out like so:
The git commit to create this tag is here, for reference:
https://github.com/theflatearthsociety/forum.tfes.org/commit/e555893047c2ba79dc39acbba9a524155fe8d07b
It uses a LaTeX-parsing service I've set up at mathtex.tfes.org, which is served via CloudFlare so that it caches the result of image generation for super-speedy load times.
Any questions, feel free to ask myself or pizaaplanet.

Grazie! Your efforts are appreciated!

That's radical... Get it?

Is there a resource that describes the various syntax required for posting the supported formulas?

You have made a very powerful enemy. *coughs*

This is pretty good, and it has a thing that lets you practise:

Awesome. Will use soonTM.

Thanks for the un-condescending answer ;)

This expression would require a dx, assuming that x is the variable of integration. ;)
Parsifal: This is a wonderful addition. Thank you.

What would lead you to that assumption?

What would lead you to that assumption?
Well, for starters, there aren't any other variables in that expression.

There's an x in it.

Convention. The same reason I assume e is a constant.

It's silly to rely on convention when you pointed out that convention wasn't being followed by the OP.

Not really, it's rather common to forget the 'dx' or 'dy' or whatever in an integral. I do it often, and get called on it often :)

irrelevant.
Also, this is when a thread should be locked.

It is indeed. This thread has been thoroughly and utterly markjo'd.
Markjo, please refrain from derailing S&C threads.
