| As we have already covered the basics of MimeTeX, this page is devoted to the characters you can use.

| ==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.
| |
| | |
| ==Symbols==
| |
| | |
| These are not all the symbols that may be available in MimeTeX, just the ones that I have found to work in Moodle.

| WARNINGS: The & character in </math>LaTeX</math> usually requires a | \. In </math>TeX</math>, 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.
| |
| | |
| There are also a number of characters that can be used in MimeTeX but do not render in this page:

| Notable Exceptions
| |
| | |
| Greek letter omicron. Simply put, omicron is an "o" or an "O".

| | |
| ==Fonts==
| |
| | |
| To use a particular font you need to access the font using the same syntax as demonstrated above.
| |
| | |
| A math calligraphic font:
| |
| | |
| <math>\mathcal{ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ}</math>
| |
| | |
| or
| |
| | |
| $$ \mathcal{ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ}$$
| |
| | |
| A Castellar type font:
| |
| | |
| <math>\mathbb{ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ}</math>
| |
| | |
| or
| |
| | |
| $$ \mathbb{ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ}$$
| |
| | |
| An Old English type font:
| |
| | |
| <math>\mathfrak{ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ}</math>
| |
| | |
| or
| |
| | |
| $$ \mathfrak{ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ}$$
| |
| | |
| An italic font:
| |
| | |
| <math>\mathi{ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ}</math>
| |
| | |
| or
| |
| | |
| $$ \mathi{ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ} $$
| |
| | |
| A bold-face font:
| |
| | |
| <math>\mathbf{ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ}</math>
| |
| | |
| or
| |
| | |
| $$ \mathbf{ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ} $$
