Math in Nabble

I searched the FAQ and Support Forum, but didn't find an answer. Does Nabble provide a means to post mathematical equations or formulas? Some forums allow posting in LaTeX.

Sorry, no, but Nabble allows full html, so you can probably post a picture. We add things based on user requests, if more users request this, we may add it.

Re: Math in Nabble

Ok; thanks. I'm posting an image here to see how well it works. This is the formula for computing distance from one point on a Cartesian plane to another: $d=\sqrt{{{\left( {{x}_{2}}-{{x}_{1}} \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( {{y}_{2}}-{{y}_{1}} \right)}^{2}}}$ . This works great with MathType software if the author includes LaTeX alt text on the images, as mine has.

If this were implemented would that also mean that LilyPond music could be notated on the forums through LaTeX? I am fine with pictures, although I find the idea of LaTeX on forums interesting.

I don't know. I suppose that might depend on which LaTeX package Nabble decided to implement into the forum.
