Math Markup

Hi, Economist. I just wanted to further TK's comments about the math markup. For most simple things (e.g. numbers, subscripts, superscripts), you don't need math markup, just regular HTML (there are buttons for these in the edit bar). For more complicated things, or things like Greek letters, you need to enter math mode using <math> and exit it using </math>. Many LaTeX commands are straightforward to guess: Greek letters are \nameofletter, for example \kappa, \delta, or \Delta, which give . The commands are case sensitive as you can see. Other things you might want are:

• \frac{num}{denom} which yields .
• _ is subscript, ^ is superscript, and by default they only take one thing as argument, so if you want multiple numbers, use {} to denote the scope. Compare: \sigma_12 with \sigma_{12}: versus .
• \lim_{x\to \infty} f(x) yields

Curly braces {} are used to denote the argument of a command.

Any other LaTeX questions, feel free to ask me. Also, when editing articles, make sure there are enough links to other articles where important topics are talked about. L'Hopital's rule was a little barren with just one link. -Foxtrot 05:55, 16 February 2009 (EST)
