\(\displaystyle

I always thought \$ and \(\displaystyle was for inline type setting and \$$ for indented, but I'm curious what the actual difference is too..\)\)

\(\displaystyle
\$...\$ gives \textstyle, but [MATH]...[/MATH] produces \displaystyle. You can see the difference if you set the formula \lim_{x\to0}\frac{f(x)}{g(x)} in the two styles:

$\lim_{x\to0}\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}$

\(\displaystyle \lim_{x\to0}\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}\)\)
