PF uses MathJax and not LaTeX. So not all libraries are available, and cannot be loaded either.bob012345 said:TL;DR Summary: I cannot see any examples of tikz working.
I have this line;
\begin{tikzpicture} \mobiusstrip{1}{0.5} \end{tikzpicture}
What do I do to make it work? Thanks.
I believe they had tikz, yes, and posts using it are most likely ones from there.bob012345 said:Was it part of the MHB site that was merged?

MHB had an implementation of LaTeX that allowedfresh_42 said:IDK. It has been MathJax here since I joined.
tikz to be rendered in the browser:I like Serena said:MHB had a dedicated server that converted TikZ code to pictures on the fly.
tikz on your system and post a picture of the result.If all you want is a compiler to make a pdf then I'd suggest looking into Overleaf. Now, I've been using a LaTeX based word processor, LyX,, that also incorporates TikZ, though to save some time I usually use it to generate pdfs as it slows down the rendering time for the text.bob012345 said:TL;DR Summary: I cannot see any examples of tikz working.

To start using TikZ in LaTeX, you need to include the TikZ package in the preamble of your document by adding \usepackage{tikz}. Then, you can begin a TikZ picture environment with \begin{tikzpicture} and end it with \end{tikzpicture}. Within this environment, you can use various TikZ commands to draw shapes, lines, and other graphical elements.
To draw a simple line in TikZ, you can use the \draw command within a \begin{tikzpicture} environment. For example, \draw (0,0) -- (2,0); will draw a horizontal line from the point (0,0) to the point (2,0).
You can add labels or text to your TikZ drawings using the \node command. For example, \node at (1,1) {Hello}; will place the text "Hello" at the coordinates (1,1). You can also combine text with shapes by adding text within a shape command, such as \draw (1,1) circle (1) node {Circle}; to place the text "Circle" inside a circle.
In TikZ, you can change the color of shapes and lines using the [color] option in the \draw command. For example, \draw [red] (0,0) -- (2,0); will draw a red line. You can specify different colors by name or use RGB values with the rgb option, like \draw [color={rgb,255:red,128; green,0; blue,0}] (0,0) -- (2,0); for a custom color.
For more complex shapes and patterns, you can use a combination of TikZ commands and options. For example, to draw a rectangle with a pattern, you could use \filldraw [pattern=north east lines] (0,0) rectangle (2,1);. TikZ also supports various libraries that extend its capabilities, such as the
