| Jan 21, 2011 at 20:19 | comment | added | ErikE | I just spent 15 minutes trying to figure out how to do a simple subscript. Sending me off to mathjax.org/demos frankly wasted my time as I vainly clicked around looking for help. Please don't provide that link any more as there's no obvious way to get any syntax help! I wrote the MathJax people directly and they suggested math.harvard.edu/texman. Would you please consider changing your link on the question-asking page to point there instead? It will save your users much wasted time and frustration. | |

Jeff, this was added as a comment to the meta.math post, but I'll repeat it here so you're more likely to see it- the help box is almost perfect, but MathJax will render the $\sin^2 \theta$ in it, so what the user actually sees is "MathJax equation sin² θ", which isn't correct. It has to be wrapped between <code/> tags or <span class="tex2jax_ignore"/> tags to avoid MathJax parsing it.
