==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.

WARNINGS: The & character in $$LaTeX$$ usually requires a \. In $$TeX$$, apparently, it does not. Other packages, AsciiMath, when it becomes available, may use it differently again so be careful using it. The copyright character may use the default MimeTeX charset, and produces a copyright notice for John Forkosh Associates.
