TeX Symbols in SEE

From MoodleDocs

:NOTE Mauno Korpelainen's Super Equation Editor, SEE, is very 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 way to go yet.

Caveat

This page relates solely to Super Equation Editor, SEE. Most, if not all, of these commands are used in one release of TeX or another. Originally, the core macros came from an interest in using the TeX notation filter in Moodle. This was quickly followed by MikTeX and then LiveTeX. All these commands are found somewhere in LiveTeX or fonts and style packages dowloaded for use in LiveTeX. Most of these commands will work, but some may not depending on your configuration of SEE.

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 \ a \ bold \ font} 

Displays as

 

For Moodle, it seems that the $$ still plays a role in the construction of TeX commands. What you may enter into SEE would be something like:

 \frac{16 \times \sqrt{36}}{12}

Which will then display in your editor screen as:

 $$ \frac{16 \times \sqrt{36}}{12} $$

When rendered looks like:

 

Warning

Not all of the commands and sequences included here have been tested in the Moodle environment. There may reason to 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.

NOTE: This table has been garnished over a long period of time and from a lot of different sources. Some font packages have been identified some have not, yet. Most of this is also found in the Using TeX Notation pages.
