Uncovering the Source: How to View Latex Code in Mathjax Images

In summary, the Mathjax documentation guide reveals that to view the source code for any Mathjax image, one simply needs to right click and select "Show Source". This will open a new window displaying the Latex code. Additionally, it has been noted that when increasing the font size, the font of Latex also increases.

It's strange no one has noticed but after reading through the Mathjax documentation guide, all you have to do to view the source code is right click over any Mathjax image and click "Show Source". A new window will pop up with the Latex code.

EDIT: Try it here $ \displaystyle \begin{array}{*{20}c} {x = \frac{{ - b \pm \sqrt {b^2 - 4ac} }}{{2a}}} & {{\rm{when}}} & {ax^2 + bx + c = 0} \\ \end{array}$

This is something I explicitly said in the thread on http://www.mathhelpboards.com/showthread.php?27-How-to-use-LaTeX-on-this-site...I suppose people didn't read it thoroughly enough then?

There's something that I noted too:

When increasing the size of the font, the font of LaTeX increases as well. Example:

This is $1+1=2.$ Now by increasing the font we have, This is $1+1=2.$

Haha, sorry. I was under the impression that people didn't know how to view the source code for Latex at all. Can't hurt to have a little repetitiveness.
