When posting chemical equations, formulae, etc. the staff at Hypograhy suggest that you utilize our LaTeX chemistry package for your convenience, and for the consistency of the threads in the chemistry forum.
The
end tag is [/ce] while the
opening tag is [ce]. Anything between those two will be translated with TeX.
The following examples of script will be rendered when in-between the tags:
C6H12O6 renders as
CrO4^{-2} renders as
^{235}_{92}U renders as
Reaction arrows:

,

,

can be rendered with ->, <-, and <=> respectively.
These are the basics, but, the standard TeX commands may also be used within the [ce] tags. So please see our LaTeX thread here for more details:

Also, as always, placing your curser over rendered LaTeX will reveal the original script.
Feel free to use this thread for practice!
