My favorite thing about #qoto so far is that there is inline support for LaTeX. Cannot wait to try it as I have been trying to learn it as much as possible in my Calc 1 course.
“Inline math Latex support - Use \ ( and \ ) for inline LaTeX, and \ [ and \ ] for display mode.”

@vern I will describe it poorly but it’s used for formatting text and math equations. I think it could be used for anything from writing a book to writing a math test online.
\frac{2}{3} (in case that actually works “\ frac {2} {3}”) without any spaces would give you a really nice formatting of 2/3.
@vern looks like I need to figure out how to actually use it😂 still
@derickflorian @vern Unfortunately, this feature doesn't work very well.
\(\frac{2}{3}\)
\[frac{2}{3}\]
@vern @peterdrake thanks! It’s a nice idea but definitely not critical. Everything else has worked perfectly so far and I’m enjoying the platform!
@derickflorian I will await to see a post showing the difference between formatting taking place and raw sent data
@vern Let me try again [\ \int f(x) dx \]
@vern oh well. I did get this one to display with the 2/3 fraction example. I have been told that this only works partially currently. It seems to work better on the web version on mobile for me.
@derickflorian might also want to learn some markdown syntax like putting code in back ticks `\``
@derickflorian What is LaTeX?
