Description

When creating a question and answering open questions, it is possible to add formulas. These can be created using a special editor. The editor is based on LaTeX, a way to convert text to a desired format. This is applied here to create a formula. For more information, visit www.latex-project.org.

The figure below shows which symbols and examples are available in this editor.
