P.S. I used [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Displaying_a_formula#TeX_vs_HTML this] to help me. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 07:47, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
:To each his own, of course, but TeX rendering has one crucial advantage: it's reliable and unambiguous, and can handle arbitrarily complex equations. Wiki has 3 ways of displaying math: TeX png image, MathML, or for very simple stuff, normal text with sub-/superscripts. I set minimum font size in firefox, so sometimes plain subscripts look as big as normal text. MathML depends on user having math font installed. Currently only TeX can be relied upon to deliver equations accurately. If you want to reduce TeX math display size, there are hacks (be careful tho): <math>\scriptstyle\sqrt 2</math> --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 20:49, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
