Hi everyone,

What do you think about including Tex into the forum engine? I think it's very useful for the implementation of reaction equation, etc. in posts.

ciao,

Is there a website where people like me can try using tex?

I am sure using Tex has a learning curve..

physicsforums uses LaTeX.

It is not very difficult - as long as you need only to set up equations and formulas, not whole documents. 5 minutes to learn basics.
