Would you consider enabling a module that allows one to write math easily?
E.g. Discourse math.
It looks very useful.
The same syntax is available on github; Math support in Markdown. Didn’t know this.
SOEST IT has added the plugin - feel free to test it (I have not).
Does not render;
$$
\hat{H}\Psi=E\Psi
$$
Inline test; $E=mc^2$
The link in my original post says: This plugin is disabled by default, after installing be sure to enable it via site settings. So maybe not enabled?
I don’t see the math plugin on the “Plugins” (https://flint.soest.hawaii.edu/admin/plugins) page.
Very strange.
Our SOEST It people did add it, then I had trouble accessing the server, and perhaps he made some changes. Server has been up but no math. I sent am email to him before Xmas but I suspect buried in holiday breaks etc. I will see if I can get a reply.
Any news?
Is there any way to add maths to the posts? I just had a need to do it today, but short of making images of the equations, I didn’t know how to do it.
I’ll look into it.
It is certainly possible. Several posts on the Julia Discourse Forum have Latex like equations.
Looks like we need to install a plugin. Don’t know if we have the permissions. The recipe in this posts mention installing it with git
Test post to see if the math plugin works:
\hat{H}\Psi=E\Psi
@timhume looks like it is time to go crazy with math in your posts 
$$
\sqrt{(-1)} \; 2^3 \; \sum \; \pi
$$
\sqrt{(-1)} \; 2^3 \; \sum \; \pi
Great work 
e^{i\pi} + 1= 0
I support this idea as well. Being able to write equations directly in forum posts would make technical discussions much clearer, especially when explaining mathematical derivations or sharing formulas.
Plain text often becomes difficult to read once expressions involve fractions, exponents, matrices, or summations. Support for MathJax or a similar solution would improve readability and reduce misunderstandings when discussing mathematical concepts.
It would also make it much easier for new users to ask questions and for experienced members to provide precise explanations without relying on screenshots or external documents.
@SofiaJone are you a bot?
Probably. I was careless accepting this post.
