Topic: LATEX is now available

[Orstio]

You can now use the [ tex] [ /tex ] UBBC tags to create pretty formulas:

[tex] \LARGE \sqrt 2 - x^4[/tex]


LATEX parsing in PHP made possible by Steve Mayer:  http://www.mayer.dial.pipex.com/tex.htm

Was that supposed to look nice?

[Orstio]

Here is a good reference to using this math language:

[Orstio]

Well, it looks better than the ASCII version.   ;)

[Orstio]

[tex] \LARGE x= \circle(25) [/tex]

Cool! That's a dreamed function! We could input beautiful formulars in the future!
How do you add that function, Orstio?

[Orstio]

You can just use the tex tags, as I showed above.

For example, if you want to do the square root of 2, you type:

\sqrt 2

surrounded by the tex tags.

If you want it a little larger, you use the \large command, or if that's still not large enough, the \Large command, or you could even go up to the \LARGE command.

for fractions, you use the \frac command:

\frac{x+1}{y^2}

looks like this:

[tex] \frac{x+1}{y^2}[/tex]

[broomstar]

oh...sorry for my English...by "add the function" I mean how did you add the new "tex format inputing" feature to the forum, not how to input  functions in Tex.

[Orstio]

And this:

~\unitlength{.6}~\picture(100){
     ~~(50,50){\circle(99)}~ ~(20,55;50,0;2){+1$\hat\bullet}~~(50,40){\bullet}
     ~~(50,35){\circle(50,25;34)}~ ~(50,35){\circle(50,45;34)}}

Gives you this:

[tex] ~\unitlength{.6}~\picture(100){
     ~~(50,50){\circle(99)}~ ~(20,55;50,0;2){+1$\hat\bullet}~~(50,40){\bullet}
     ~~(50,35){\circle(50,25;34)}~ ~(50,35){\circle(50,45;34)}}[/tex]

Oh!  Sorry.

There is a LATEX parser called MimeTex that works very well on this server.  It was actually a very small change to the forum code (I had to add an include),  to make it work.  Another SMF user had already made the LATEX code (which doesn't work here)  work for a different type of server, so I followed his example to get MimeTex working here.

[tex] \Large \vareps=\Bigsum_{i=\1}^{n-\1}     \frac1{\Del~x}\Bigint_{x_i}^{x_{i+\1}}{\frac1{\Del~x}\big[     (x_{i+1}-x)y_i^{5$\star}+(x-x_i)y_{i+1}^{5$\star}\big]-f(x)\}^\2dx[/tex]

[tex] \LARGE f=b_\0+\frac{a_\1}{b_\1+     \frac{a_2}{b_2+\frac{a_3}{b_3+a_4}}}

For some reason I was unable to see it yesterday. It does look nice today.
