- tome 17y agoNo I didn't. Could you please repost? I'd be interested.

- madcaptenor 17y agoYeah, but that just tells you how to write the symbol in LaTeX. HN doesn't support LaTeX so that's no good. What tome wrote is basically LaTeX stripped of some of the syntax that makes it unambiguous for computers but hard to read for humans. This is basically the standard way of writing mathematics in a plain-text setting.
- zackattack 17y agoYou missed my intention. My point is that there's got to be a better way. That link shows important progress towards the next step: expressing equations, translating them into LaTeX, and then rendering them into image (e.g. png) form.
