Q Updates

Hi All,

The Quantopian forums can now display \(\rm\LaTeX\)! We'll update our help docs about this, but for now:

  • To display a standalone expression, surround it $$, such as: $$ E[r_i] = r_f + \beta^M_i (r_M - r_f) $$, which displays: $$E[r_i] = r_f + \beta^M_i (r_M - r_f)$$

  • To display an inline expression, surround it with \\( and \\), such as when explaining that \(r_f\) is the risk-free rate (uses \\(r_f\\))

The rendering library we are using, MathJax, supports a big subset of \(\rm\LaTeX\). More complete details can be found on Carol Fisher's TeX Commands Available in MathJax page.

There will likely be some corner cases that aren't supported quite right yet. Please let us know about them as you discover them.

thanks,
Jean
