Do not use the example environment to insert formulas, consider using {{Codeline|@verbatim}} instead. | |||
{{Code||<pre> | |||
@verbatim | |||
E[Z(i,k) ] | |||
IRL(k) = ------------ | |||
V(i) | |||
@end verbatim | |||
</pre>}} | |||
However, this will never print as a nice looking mathematical formula that TeX is known for. It is possible to have Tex formulas but then they won't be displayed on HTML or Info (Octave help) so the following can be done: | |||
{{Code||<pre> | {{Code||<pre> | ||
@tex | |||
\def\frac#1#2{{\begingroup#1\endgroup\over#2}} | |||
$$ IRL(k) = \frac{E[Z(i,k)]}{V(i)} $$ | |||
@end tex | |||
@ifnottex | |||
@verbatim | @verbatim | ||
E[Z(i,k) ] | E[Z(i,k) ] | ||

=== Plain-tex missing macros === | |||
When compared to LaTeX, plain TeX is missing some very useful macros for including mathematical notation. The following is a list of their definitions which can be added on a as needed basis: | |||
* frac | |||
<pre>\def\frac#1#2{{\begingroup#1\endgroup\over#2}}</pre> | |||
