Using the Editor

Q:  How can I enter Greek letters and other special math’s symbols when using the editor?

A:  These can be entered as HTML entities.  You can view this page [HTML Symbol Entities] for instructions and a list of available symbols.  It is also possible to enter these using the equation editor, although this is not recommended as the symbols will be entered as images which take time to load and don’t line up nicely with the text.
