== Hints and tricks for math authors ==
Formulae on Conservapedia are entered in a markup language that is a slightly restricted version of the LaTeX typesetting system (with some AMSLaTeX packages). See [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Formula the Wikimedia help page] for a brief introduction. There are many excellent tutorials on LaTeX available online, including [http://tobi.oetiker.ch/lshort/lshort.pdf The Not So Short Introduction to LaTeX2e]. A few typesetting tips:
*If you need to write vertically aligned stuff in braces, using the "<nowiki>\begin{cases}</nowiki>" mechanism, do not use <nowiki>\textrm</nowiki> inside the cases. It's legal LaTeX, but it doesn't work in Wikimedia. Use <nowiki>\mbox</nowiki> instead. See [[Fundamental group]] for examples. [[User:PatrickD|PatrickD]] 14:13, 5 July 2009 (EDT)
