No problem! I think it’s definitely worth learning the basics, which I don’t think are too bad, and are really plenty unless you have very specific needs or want to make complex diagrams. And regardless, the wizards on StackOverflow are always there to help.
By the way, I just noticed that there’s an issue with the markup I posted due to a known Lemmy bug where ^ gets replaced with the sup HTML tag even in code blocks. I’ll post a proper Pastebin or something when I get the chance!
No problem! Yeah, as you can see it’s a bit different–basically, you’ve got commands that start with backslashes, which can have one or more arguments contained in curly brackets. The most important thing to understand is probably math mode which is what enables all the fancy mathematical typesetting.
Here’s the Pastebin with the correct markup for my earlier comment:
Thank you. Since I have MS word, I sort-of make-do with it’s equation editor,
Been interested in LaTeX for a while, so thanks for this.

Thanks a lot.
