A new feature at DaniWeb is the ability to use $$bbcode. I feel this is a necessary feature if our Computer Science forums are ever to succeed. However, I want to be able to include some links to tex tutorials in my formal announcement on this feature. Does anyone know of any? 7 Contributors 12 Replies 13 Views 11 Years Discussion Span Last Post by provenshop You may want to check out: Let's give it a shot ... Hmm ... it's awfully small. But when I do something like [tex]a+b=c$$ it's not so.

$$Oh this is awesome! Testing...$$

Okay, I guess it's stuck in math mode.

$$Testing... testing testing testing....$$

maybe?

$$Testing...\text{\huge{a text portion}}...testing...$$

Some more testing...

$$\int_1^n \frac1x dx$$

And some more...

$$\frac{\left(\frac{1 + \sqrt 5}{2}\right)^n - \left(\frac{1 - \sqrt 5}{2}\right)^n}{\sqrt 5}$$

$$\text{\huge{$$\frac{\left(\frac{1 + \sqrt 5}{2}\right)^n - \left(\frac{1 - \sqrt 5}{2}\right)^n}{\sqrt 5}$$}}$$

$$sweet$$

[speculative]I can't believe no other forums have thought of this? [/speculative]

did u get my message about code tags csgal?

I did and I just replied. :)

Could someone explain to me this "tex" code? Is that what creates the graphic for an equation?

TeX is a typesetting system.

Yes.

never seen this done anywhere else. such a good idea - only slight problem seems to be that a load of <br/> tags appear - think this is due to the behaviour of the text box/submission?

Hard returns aren't meant to be used with TeX anyways. I think you can avoid this by using the standard editor instead of the wysiwyg editor (hit the little A/A icon in the top right of the editor box)

yeah - my editor was set to basic in settings. still though if i do something like this:

$$${ \frac {d}{dx}} \ arctan(\sin({x}^{2}))=-2\,{ \frac { \cos({x}^{2})x}{-2+\left ( \cos({x}^{2}) \right )^{2}}}$$$

the code looks correct (to me!) but i still get <br /> tags unless i put it all in a block.

thanks for the tutoriials
