Tex
« on: April 25, 2006, 04:53:47 AM »
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..

http://www.math.tu-dresden.de/~rudl/latex/
http://www.bl.physik.tu-muenchen.de/rechner/latex/latex.html

or just google for Latex+tutorial

if somebody wants to use LaTeX at home as well:

and the appropriate editor:

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.
