TeX Symbols in SEE

From MoodleDocs

:NOTE Mauno Korpelainen's Super Equation Editor, SEE, is veryu much in its infancy. It is still in beta testing and should be for a while yet. Using SEE should be confined to test sites for now, later, it can also be used in production sites, but it has a long way to go yet.

Supported LaTeX commands in SEE

SEE supports a very large range of TeX symbols.

These symbols are divided, essentially, into two parts, the "macro", the command itself, and, where needed, an extension or an attribute that follows. These extensions are usually in braces.

For example:

 \fontbf{This\ is\ bold\ font}

For Moodle, it seems that the $$ still plays a role in the construction of TeX commands.

NOTE: Not all of the commands and sequences included here have been tested in the Moodle environment. There may be some that still do not work. Also, check the file filter\lib.php for the array $tex_blacklist = array(, for any conflicts - e.g. line


Command Sequences

Most symbols are reserved characters.
