This glossary will help you build complex mathematical equations using the Tex markup language. This will involve using @@ or $$ before and after the expression to display the desired results.
\qquad (double space of current character set size)
$$a\qquad~b$$
\_ (where _ is blank!)
$$a\ b$$
(whereas $$a\b$$ is not a valid filter expression since the blank space is missing; it is recommended to use the tilde ~ instead of the simple whitespace)
\hspace{n} ,where n positive integer (= n Pixels)
$$a~\hspace{30}~b$$
$$a~\hspace{15}~b$$
$$a~\hspace{2}~b$$
$$a~\hspace{1}~b$$
\unitlength{m}\hspace{n}, changes the default unit length (m=1px) to be applied
$$a~\hspace{2}~b\unitlength{10}~\hspace{2}~c$$
(second space is 10x2=20px)
Note: Simple blank spaces and tildes (~) are ignored by the TeX filter and don't produce any space. You must use one of the defined math spaces to get a visible (extra) space.
mathematics expression
A valid expression inside the $'s is rendered as mathematics in an inserted gif image.
Ex.: $$x=y^2$$ creates
matrix
An (m,n)-matrix is considered as an array of m*n elements, where the elements of a column are separated by "&" and the rows by "\\".
Syntax for an (m,n)-matrix: \begin{array}{colformat}a11&...&a1n\\a21&...&a2n\\... \\am1&...&amn \end{array}
where colformat defines the format of each of the n columns: l for left, r for right and c for center (hence {ccccc} defines for a (m,5)-matrix in which all columns are centered)
