(Disambiguating with an adjective does make it ok to use either -- "Curly brackets" are still { }, and "square braces" are still [ ] )

Stop imposing your stupid American stuff on people.

It's not "stupid" to assume the dialect we're using is American English. Why the aggressiveness?

The biggest differences is in this example, I looked at all of them:

f'(x) = lim_{h -> 0} {f(x+h) - f(x)}/h

vs

f'(x) = \lim_{h\to 0}\frac{f(x+h) - f(x)}{h}

While the code it produces is way more than needed. See [1] for the crap it produces.

The key differences here are "\", "->" instead of "\to" (which \to makes more sense to me), and "/" instead of "\frac{}{}" (which I'll give to Mathify). But because LaTeX supports a lot more there is no question which one is actually easier.

[1] {f'{ \left( x \right) } = \lim _{{h \to 0}} \frac{{f{ \left( x+h \right) } - f{ \left( x \right) }}}{h}}

Augment. Why not let the silicon do the grunt work of remembering latex and let the user get on with the job?

Also, MathJax accepts asciimath as input, not sure if you can get LaTeX out of it though.

1) Open up the 'Grapher' application from the 'Applications/Utilities' folder.

2) Click on 'Choose' (it doesn't matter what other options you pick from the initial loading screen).

3) From here on, just type your equation into the main input field. You can also use the equation palette from the dropdown menu on the right side of the main input field to access the templates for things like integrals and summations. From the dropdown, you should be able to click on 'Show Equation Palette' to get a window of all of the math symbols Grapher supports.

4) Once done writing your equation, select it all, right click, and then click on 'Copy LaTeX Expression'.

For desktop-based equation writing, something like Microsoft's equation editor is perfect. For tablet/touch screen, a pen based OCR might work really well?

I don't know much about web design but for stuff like this I usually see the text box filled with an example input and the resulting output is displayed along with it.

Is there a way to produce <= and >=? lt and gt become < and >, which is not so necessary seeing that < and > work fine, but lte and gte do not become \lte or \gte.

In the product prod example, there is nlogn in the source and logi in the rendering.

Also delta produces \delta instead of \Delta.

    sqrt{1+2x^2/3}
    x^2/{3x}
