Simple Math Placed Inline or Anywhere
Anywhere you want to use Greek symbols or a short math expression, you can type the equation in latex surrounded by <math>..</math>. They don't absolutely need to be simple expressions.
| You type | Shows up as |
|---|---|
| <math>{N} = {E}/\sigma </math> | |
| ...for low values of <math> {{\Re}_{*}}(\Re \lt 1) </math>,... | ...for low values of
Failed to parse (unknown function "\lt"): {\displaystyle {{\Re}_{*}}(\Re \lt 1) } ,... |
