Thought I'd give a heads up about this handy tool for doing formula. It works similar to Microsoft equation (easy GUI).

Only found the firefox plug-in so far:https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4082
The way to get up the add-on after installing is a little sphere in the bottom right.

For those who don't know what latex is its the classy way of doing the formulae/equations that's built in here.

eg. \frac{\partial x}{\partial y} =\beta \approx 7 \varphi f(x) \equiv \propto \zeta

Irritatingly you still need the latex tags though.

Nice, I prefer typing in LaTeX to get the practice, but I know other people who don't use TSR who will appreciate this.

Cheers

Is there a guide to explain the way to write it?

It's normally a lot quicker to type out the code.
