. . . alright, I tried it. Didn't notice it. But . . . that ain't good enough. Suppose I write a paragraph with 20 or so embedded latex blocks, or just 5 or 10. Selecting, then choosing the sigma for each one is still too time-consuming; quicker to type in the math blocks for each. No offense Jameson and Arbolis. But the $$ for a centered latex block and single $ for in-line latex is in my opinion the most efficient way to input post and no don't tell me "well, then just run off to AoPS and type your post then" -- those guys there are way too . . . what's just the right word I'm lookin' for? I have to think about it .
