    How do I display Latex?
    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.

    You need to use the MATH tag.

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

    becomes (after removal of the spaces)

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