How to: use LaTeX for equations

I am actually having some problems with this.

We may be seeing some sort of caching problem.

I'm sure Alex will figure it out.

now i can use sub/superscripts

and intergrals..

As a side note I'll mention that the forum also supports a [noparse][/noparse] tag so that example BBCode can be posted. This allows you to actually post BBCode code that can literally be copy and pasted like
[latex]f(x)=int_{-\infty}^x e^{-t^2}dt[/latex]. Perhaps someone will find this useful

OTOH, there appear to be some hiccups because it should be able to parse [latex]f(x)=1[/latex] and the parantheses seem to be hanging up. Maybe it's a syntax problem with this version though.

Yeah it's a little buggy apparently.

ok, so there is no workaround for this yet, so i will warn people and explain what is going on.

the mimetex plugin works very beautifuly, the problem is when it touches vbulletin, something crazy happens and this extremely weird issue comes up:
so apparently there is a problem with parsing bbcode, and for some reason or another, a parenthesie before the first equal sign it screws stuff up and breaks some links that does not allow the images to render at all...

so a workaround, not a solution, still working on that one:
\int_{a}^bf(x)dt=\sum_{i=1}^n f(\overline{x_i})\Delta x
does not work as demonstrated here:

but you can use the same equation and write it as:
\sum_{i=1}^n f(\overline{x_i})\Delta x=\int_{a}^bf(x)dt
as i demonstrate here:


similarly:
x=f\left(x\right) works

while the opposite f\left(x\right)=x does not

P.S. Reimann's sum demonstrates most crazy good effects of latex. if you want some code for matixees or complex fractions to refer to, i'll be more then delighted to write a tutorial for the math forum... that is if anyone needs it...

So now Q can do his sig with:



{with the extra "Qfwfq=" stuck in as a workaround for alex's bug...}

Qool!

it is a workaround, but i want it to work like it is supposed to, but that would work buffy...
