Latex is a typesetting system which allows you to generate simple to complex math equations that can't be created using normal text formats. You basically write your equation in the latex language and it translates it displays it correctly.
The language can get quite complex but the basics are easy. You can pick it up pretty quickly, so get stuck in!
Electromaster, do you perhaps have a website you could refer us to where we can read about the specifics (limitations, syntax changes, etc) of this forum-oriented LaTeX module?

This isn't that difficult. I feel I'm comfortable with enough to get by and I'll still need to RTFM every now and the but it's easy when you know how. I'd rather use Latex than have to attach formula generated by Writer, it saves the copy and pasting.
haha! got it. i had the latex statements before and after the code but they were on sepperate lines than the code itself (like when writing quotes etc...
I tried Hero999, but it would not upload. Anyways, sorry for the trouble.
Factorise:
(2 a square b square + 2 b square c square + 2 a square c square - a raised to the power of 4 - b raised to the power of 4 - c raised to the power of 4) / 16. The whole expression is under root.
