How to add Subscript in the Message Window

Hi

I am a newbie in the forum, and may not know certain editing tricks. For example, I am facing a number of problems, like;

-> Entering an equation with Subscripts - for example; x1, x2 ... etc. where 1 and 2 must appear as Subscripts.

-> Is there any way to enter fractions, like; (a + b + c) / d in proper factional format?

-> What does [Img] tag do?

Help will be appreciated.

Hi Raabi;

Subscripts and other forms of math are enetered using latex. For instance:

I use the page here to do it for me:

http://latex.codecogs.com/editor.php

The img tag is used to display an image in your post.

Re: How to add Subscript in the Message Window

Thanks for the response. Should I download the image from the laTeX and insert into the message box or Copy & Paste?
I tried both; but could not do it. Would you kindly explain a bit! I tried with the [Img] tag as well, but could not go ahead. Please help.

Hi;

From code codecogs, copy the latex and put it between the math tags:

"
"

leave out the quotes.

img is copying pictures

"[img]http://ut-images.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/cassinirings.jpg[/img]"

without the quotes yields
