Adding Equations and Symbols |

Version 2 - view current page

In Wetpaint wikis, adding equations, symbols, superscripts, subscripts, etc., to a page is a crude process. On this page are listed a few tips.

Equations
To add an equation, one can make the equation using Latex code in any Wikipedia page, preview the equation, and then right-click on the equation, select save, and then paste into the Wetpaint article. The following code

<math> \int \frac{\delta Q}{T} \ge 0 </math>

previewed in any Wikipedia page, gives the following expression:

\int \frac{\delta Q}{T} \ge 0

which can be copied as an image (right-click, save) and pasted into Wetpaint. This technique, however, seems to only work when using Internet Explorer.

Superscripts and subscripts
Only a few superscripts can be used (those found in Word symbols), e.g. E = mc², and subscripts don’t work at all in a Wetpaint (using a 7-point font and 12-point font difference is the only alternative, e.g. H20).

Symbols
The following table gives a few symbols that can be copied and pasted into any Wetpaint page.

α β γ δ ε ζ η θ ι κ λ μ ν ξ ο π ρ ς σ
τ υ φ χ ψ ω
