Line 2: It is hoped that any serious mathematics content contributor will be thoroughly familiar with [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaTeX LaTeX]. Otherwise to generate the text required to display equations, use the CodeCogs [http://www.codecogs.com/latex/eqneditor.php LaTeX Equation Generator]. ~~SDIY~~{{SITENAME}} wiki supports embedding mathematical formulas using <code><nowiki><math>...</math></nowiki></code> tags. ~~Use the edit toolbar button [[File:Button math.png]] to enter these. For non-complex formulas use the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Math math template] <nowiki>{{math\|...}}</nowiki>.~~ ===Example=== Click the edit link above to view the source. Line 8 ⟶ 9: It can easily be seen, by polynomial expansion, that the following equation is equivalent to the quadratic equation: :<math>\left(x+\frac{b}{2a}\right)^2=\frac{b^2-4ac}{4a^2}</math> Taking the square root of both sides, and isolating {{<math~~\|''~~>x~~''}}~~</math>, gives: :<math>x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac\ }}{2a}</math> ==Charts== ~~A way to do charts is still being worked on. In the mean time use~~Use images from your favoured applcation, also see Wikipedia:[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_create_charts_for_Wikipedia_articles How to create charts for Wikipedia articles].
