Seeing actual $\LaTeX$

We have provided a simple way to view the Latex code which generates all the wonderful math equations that you see.

If you hover over an equation (place your mouse over it for a second), it appears in a box:

You can test this feature with the following line of LaTeX:

$e^{i \pi } + 1 = 0, \quad i \, \heartsuit \text{ Brilliant!}$

Note: This does not apply to images of LaTeX that members uploaded to problems or solutions.

Update: The following functionality has been removed (explanation):

Additionally, if you click on the menu in the top right corner, and select "Toggle LaTeX", we will then display the latex code, instead of the actual equations. Selecting it again would display the equations.

This allows you to easily read see all of the latex on the page. Furthermore, you can select the text, copy, and paste it into your comment (and then edit it). This way, you can easily reference specific equations.

Refer to this video for an example.
