Revision as of 05:54, 9 July 2010
As we have already covered the basics of MimeTeX, this page is devoted to more advanced issues.
Maths symbols available in Moodle
A number of the characters and symbols below have already been covered in previous pages, but this is a more exhaustive list. There are a number more, but their relevance to K-12 maths is questionable.
Keyboard characters are available as themselves but many characters have a significance in TeX. All control sequences start with the backslash, \, and have no end character. All command sequences start and end with the $$. There are a number of different types of charsets available, not just Maths but also scientific sets but these need be installed to your Moodle if you want additional charsets.
