[edit] Features

You can edit TeX expressions representing mathematical formulae
- in a textarea input field and directly see the result in an AJAX preview box.
There are configurable, clickable icons for inserting predefined TeX expressions
- defined on your user page "User:yourname/TEX/Favorites" (if available); or
- defined on the page "TEX/Favorites" (if available); or
- defined by the code.
There is a special page: "The TEX Box"; as well as
a new toolbar icon $\textstyle \sum$ for opening the TeX editor when editing a normal wiki page (provided you allowed popup windows to be opened), formulae including the math-tags can be directly insterted into the editor area.
