The use of LaTeX in a piped link or in a section heading does not appear in blue in the linked text or the table of content. Moreover, links to section headings containing LaTeX formulas do not always work as expected. Finally, having many LaTeX formulas may significantly increase the processing time of a page.
For example, nested tables (tables inside tables) should be separated into distinct tables when possible. Here is a more advanced example, showing some more options available for making up tables. Users can play with these settings in their own table to see what effect they have.
Images do not match article text in font size. Images do not usually have proper baseline alignment for inline math. Images do not change color when part of a link. Copy-paste as text duplicates the formula's source code, copy-paste as image is not supported in many programs e.g. Word. PNG: Robust. Little overhead in a browser. Native MathML
A mathematical markup language is a computer notation for representing mathematical formulae, based on mathematical notation.Specialized markup languages are necessary because computers normally deal with linear text and more limited character sets (although increasing support for Unicode is obsoleting very simple uses).
Until bug T263572 is fixed, it will not work in image captions when readers click through to see full-size images. If an inline formula needs to be typeset in LaTeX, keep the height down by using text-style or horizontal fractions: <math> \tfrac 12 x</math> produces and <math>x / 2</math> produces /, but <math> \frac {x}{2} </math> is too tall ...
There is at least one OCR tool that can convert a handwritten formula to Latex and other formats. Mathpix allows 10 snips a month free. I don't know enough to edit the body of the Help page (I've not yet used Mathpix so don't know how good it is, and how compatible with Wikipedia, and don't know what else is out there), but I think there should be a Tools section with this sort of information.
The Mathcal template is intended to simulate a calligraphic font for use in mathematical formulas using standard HTML. Use this template as an alternative to \mathcal{...} in LaTeX markup (see Help:Displaying a formula ).
MathType is a graphical editor for mathematical equations, allowing entry with the mouse or keyboard in a full graphical WYSIWYG environment. [2] This contrasts to document markup languages such as LaTeX where equations are entered as markup in a text editor and then processed into a typeset document as a separate step.
