I'm very familiar with latex, however, I don't know how to display something in latex in this forum. I tried putting the equation in $'s, but it didn't work. The stickie with technical writing just has blank lines for the input code, and the tutorial it links to is just beginner latex. I just need a way to do this so my answers aren't so hard to read. Thanks in advance for any help.

There's this thread for help:

:)

I know, but its closed. And the source code in the thread is just two straight lines.

Do click on the link provided in the post. Or if you can't find it:

mimetextutorial.html (http://www.forkosh.com/mimetextutorial.html)

<img src="/cgi-bin/mathtex.cgi?\sqrt{a^2+b^2}">

You need to use the MATH tag.

So [ math ]sqrt{a^2+b^2}[/ math ]

becomes (after removal of the spaces)

sqrt{a^2+b^2}

i got it. To type \lim_{n \to \infty} (1 + \frac{1}{n})^n = e type "["math"]" \lim_{n \to \infty} (1 + \frac{1}{n})^n = e"["/math"]" but without the quotes.

That's the kiddie..

Thanks.
