Does anyone know of a way to add a mathematical equation to an article without just inserting an image? See an example of what I'm talking about below.

Hey Mark,

You can write the equations with HTML tags and maths symbol codes:

Hope, it helps you :)

 

Thanks

    Thanks. I found a much better way of handling this by using MathJax.

      To add some more info about this topic: 

      It is easy to support LaTeX formatting for pretty math notation in Gather and Guide by just adding this line to the document_head.hbs file to activate MathJax:
      <script src='https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mathjax/2.7.5/latest.js?config=TeX-MML-AM_CHTML' async></script>

      Then, it's possible to use math notation as explained in our community guide: Posting to the Community Forum – Gurobi Support Portal

      Unfortunately, this is not supported in Zendesk Support, so we cannot have nicely formatted mathematical formulations in our conversations with customers. I already opened a feature request to support this: LaTeX support in tickets – Zendesk help

      Cheers,
      Matthias
