Insert LaTeX Equation; Discussion post
Hi,
I am a student, I wish to insert LaTeX formatted Equations in my discussion posts.
Some of these commands do not work, even though it is included in the popup at:
I'm looking to insert 2 equations, on separate lines.
Desired Output Example:
y = mx+b
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
I've tried \newline but the preview shows them all on a single line;
y = mx+ba^2 + b^2 = c^2
Using \linebreak, the entire command is highlighted in red, as if it isn't a supported command.
I even appended double spaces to the lines, as in markdown; doesn't work.
I can force extra spaces by
\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \
Am I doing something incorrect? How can I circumvent this?
Much appreciated :)

Update:
So apparently, it is just the preview that is not displaying correctly. I clicked Insert, and it does give me the linebreak/newline as I wished.
Using the
\newlinecommand instead of\\is the same as well.

Hi you will need to have a double backwards slash where you want a line break
y = mx+b\\a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Tested this out and it gave me this result:
y = mx+b
a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Hi, thanks for the response. I pasted your text but unfortunately, it does not work for me

Glad to hear! Yes it might be a bit misleading but until you click on insert you won't see the desired result.
After clicking on insert it should be in the format you desire.
