Mathematic formulas in a post

[boldt]

This may be a little tricky.

I am using SMF as a forum for engineers - ingeniørdebat.dk - with a technical debate sometimes showing formulas, etc.

sometimes we need a letter from the Greek alphabet: my, pi phi, summa , in our text.

How do we do it?
How do I explain to the users?
Is it possible to create an insert-button, just like "sup", "insert image", "italic"?

have a nice day

Best way is to create, a TEX BBC

Easiest and fastest way is to create images and put into emoticons

I think

Well you can already use Greek characters, just copy them in from character map or whatever: ΦΠΣΩ. If you want to do formatting there are sup and sub tags. For anything more complex you can install this mod: http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1111

I like this idea, but where is a : and a ) translated to a    ?

I could easily see this, as a supplement to the MOD proposed by Dannii

Because typing a pi using the MOD is performed like this:
[tex]\pi[/tex]  instead of just  \pi or a click on a button.

There's no need to use anything like that. π is just a normal character like any other.

What key do you press in order to get pi, my, summa?

[Dannii]

I just copied it from character map. You should be able to copy it from anywhere though.

I have now established a box with the greek letters for copy/paste, but unfortunately it does not work.

Every time I copy a greek letter, it becomes a ? (question mark) in the post.

Does it have something to do with my set-up to Danish language?
(testing here: Π )

Still I would love to have a system of keys like emoticons


kind regards

You could use the anti-swearing system It works as perfect as this.
