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

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

Thanks for the un-condescending answer ;)

%5Cint%20e%5Ex
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?

Well, for starters, there aren't any other variables in that expression.

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

ITT: Calculus.
I don't even care to find out what you're doing wrong, but I'm sure you're doing something wrong.

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 :)
