In summary, to input mathematical equations into a post, you can use options such as LaTeX code, MathML, or HTML code. Most platforms and websites support equation input, but may have limitations or specific requirements. If you are not familiar with coding languages, you can use equation editors or visual tools. There may be restrictions on the types of equations depending on the platform. You can input equations in different languages as long as the platform supports the language and encoding.

I'm not sure if ii'm asking this question on the right forum but how do i put a neat equation into here to ask a question instead, for example, 4+x^3/2. How do i put that into a neat equaiton like you would find in a textbook? Thanks.

Hi Cornraker! Welcome to PF! :smile:

Either use the X2 tag just above the Reply box …

4+x3/2

or type [noparse][tex] before and [/tex] after … [tex]4+x^{3/2}[/tex][/noparse] :wink:

(and bookmark http://www.physics.udel.edu/~dubois/lshort2e/node61.html#SECTION008100000000000000000" for some more symbols)
