Essay Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 So posting an equation within a quote or other tag just doesn't work (like this)?[math] sum_q frac{partial}{partial x_q}vec{psi} = 0[/math] ...but putting it out in the open is the only way to have the tags work?[math] \sum_q \frac{\partial}{\partial x_q}\vec{\psi} = 0[/math] Is that correct, or is there a way to have equations display within quotes? p.p.s.Thanks for the answer; I never would'a guessed that....:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modest Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 ...but putting it out in the open is the only way to have the tags work?[math]\sum_q \frac{\partial}{\partial x_q}\vec{\psi} = 0[/math] Is that correct, or is there a way to have equations display within quotes? The backslashes get stripped when quoted. Instead of using one backslash, use two - one will be stripped, the other will remain. So, it will look like this:\sum_q \frac{\partial}{\partial x_q}\vec{\psi} = 0 normally and \\sum_q \\frac{\\partial}{\\partial x_q}\\vec{\\psi} = 0 in quotes. Also, if you preview your post you'll have to re-double-up the backslashes before submitting. -modest Essay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modest Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Though there are many excellent LaTeX references, I usually refer to Help:Displaying a formula - Meta . I don’t think it’s complete, but it’s yet to fail to answer any of my questions. I would also like to say thank you CraigD for this link. It looks much better than the set of sources I was using. Very helpful. -modest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexander Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 I rather like the wikimedia reference guide myself too.... but, i would agree with craig, it's not 100% complete, but for a math reference, it's waaay up there :shrug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
