After playing around with MathType's translate to LaTeX tool, I noticed it encloses its translated TeX expressions with either $<expression>$ or $$<expression>$$ depending on whether "Inline Equation" is toggled or not.
Being new to TeX, I looked this up, and the wiki page (http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Mathematics" ) suggests that "Using the $$...$$ should be avoided, as it may cause problems, particularly with the AMS-LaTeX macros."
Why is this discouraged, and what is the alternative?
