LaTeX enabled for mathematical notation

[chris]

It is now possible to post mathematical equations on the forum using the LaTeX markup language. Simply insert whatever LaTeX commands you like inside a tex bbcode block. For example:

[tex]m = \frac{m_0}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}}[/tex]

can be produced with the following code:

Code: Select all

[tex]m = \frac{m_0}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}}[/tex]


If you're interested in learning more about how to use LaTeX, you may want to have a look at the American Mathematical Society's quick guide:

This is great. I don't make many posts, but I'm familiar with Latex. It's the way to go for writing anything that has too look professional (that's short).

Thanks...

Code: Select all

\omega^2 = \frac{G(M_1+M_2)}{r^3}

[tex]\omega^2 = \frac{G(M_1+M_2)}{r^3}[/tex]

Hmmm... that's not right. Why are brackets getting replaced by 40; and 41; ?

[t00fri]

At last...good.

but slightly less trivial latex tends to end in:

[unparsable or dangerous latex]

e.g. array or tabular environments are NOT supported.

Looks like some adjustments are necessary to make latexrender work with phpbb3. Parentheses should work now:

[tex]\omega^2 = \frac{G(M_1+M_2)}{r^3}[/tex]

Can you post an example of some non-working LaTeX code? I'll see if there's some adjustment I can make to the LatexRender package. HTML encoding was messing up parentheses and may also be responsible for the problems with your complex examples.

No changes for me!
This is the resulting error message

[tex]\left. \begin{array}{l}
\mbox{\rm 1-loop}\\
\mbox{\rm 2-loop} \end{array}\right\} \mbox{\rm \ for\ }
b=\left\{\begin{array}{lllcl}
\beta_0;&\alpha_s(\mu_r)&=&\alpha_s^{1-loop}(\mu_r)\\
\beta_0+(\beta_1-4 N_c \,\beta_0)\,\frac{\alpha_s(\mu_r)}{4\pi};&\alpha_s(\mu_r)&=&\alpha_s^{2-loop}(\mu_r).
\end{array}\right.[/tex]

This is the actual (tested) latex code:

Code: Select all

[tex]\left. \begin{array}{l}
\mbox{\rm 1-loop}\\
\mbox{\rm 2-loop} \end{array}\right\} \mbox{\rm \ for\ }

\end{array}\right.[/tex]


Here is how the code should look like:

I also have some problems with matrices and arrows of equations. The following matrix isn't properly displayed. It should be a 4 by 4 matrix :

[t00fri]

Simple formulae seem to work OK, even slightly more complicated ones, like this one, for example,

[tex]-\frac{4}{\sqrt{\pi\alpha_s}}\frac{\rho^2}{\left(\rho^2+x^2\right)^2}
\left[ \frac{x^\mu x^{\sigma}}{x^2}-\frac{1}{4}\delta^{\mu\,\sigma}\right]\bar{\eta}_{a\nu\sigma}\frac{\lambda_a}{2}
-\left(\mu \leftrightarrow \nu\right)[/tex]
For people with physics knowhow, the metric [tex]\delta^{\mu\,\sigma}[/tex] is NO typo. It refers to Euclidean space, NOT to Minkowski space ([tex]g^{\mu\,\sigma}[/tex])

Here is the corresponding Latex code:

Code: Select all

[tex]-\frac{4}{\sqrt{\pi\alpha_s}}\frac{\rho^2}
{\left(\rho^2+x^2\right)^2}
\left[ \frac{x^\mu x^{\sigma}}{x^2}-\frac{1}{4}\delta^{\mu\,\sigma}\right]\bar{\eta}_{a\nu\sigma}
\frac{\lambda_a}{2}-\left(\mu \leftrightarrow \nu\right)[/tex]

Matrix test:

[tex]R_z (\theta)= \begin{pmatrix}
1 & 0 & 0 \\
0 & \cos \theta & - \sin \theta \\
0 & \sin \theta & \cos \theta
\end{pmatrix}[/tex]

Experimenting with Fridger's formula suggests the code does not like the word "loop" (even as part of a text box) - you can cheat by using "lo{}op". Furthermore there is apparently a width restriction, so to get the result I have split the equation into two pieces:

Code: Select all

[tex]\left. \begin{array}{l}
\mbox{\rm 1-lo{}op}\\
\mbox{\rm 2-lo{}op} \end{array}\right\}\mbox{\rm \ for\ }[/tex][tex]b=\left\{\begin{array}{lllcl}
\beta_0;&\alpha_s(\mu_r)&=&\alpha_s^{1-\mathrm{lo{}op}}(\mu_r)\\
\beta_0+(\beta_1-4 N_c \,\beta_0)\,\frac{\alpha_s(\mu_r)}{4\pi};&\alpha_s(\mu_r)&=&\alpha_s^{2-\mathrm{lo{}op}}(\mu_r).
\end{array}\right.[/tex]

Wow, this is very impressive. Is this the full MathML extension or a subset of unicode characters supported by the UTF-8 encoding of the web pages on the server? UTF-8 encoded documents, such as the web page we are viewing right now, supports a subset of unicode characters that can render a subset of mathematical symbols and notation. Although, this subset would not support the entire LaTex extension. Am I correct?

I would like to know how to add this in phpBB3. Could you tell me how?
Thank you!

[Hungry4info]

Chris, very nice!

I must ask, how did you enable this for your forum? I'm trying to manage a new forum, and would very much like to have this implemented for it.

Andrew pointed me to this phpbb forum thread, and I just followed the instructions:

http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopi ... 2&t=653165

Once I got that working, I had to make one further modification to make parentheses look right; I'll post my change if that hasn't already been fixed in the phpbb-LaTeX package.

Unsurprisingly, I'm extremely confused on the whole thing. I work with it later and see if I can figure it out though.
