Fun stuff 
I’ve got this pdf permanently open in a browser tab: https://www.cmor-faculty.rice.edu/~heinken/latex/symbols.pdf.
Getting previews of math formulas on Discourse would sure be nice. I guess that issue belongs in another topic though.

Thank you so much for sharing the LaTeX symbols PDF! This is incredibly helpful for those of us working with formulas regularly. Having a resource like this handy really makes it easier to find the symbols we need. Much appreciated!

I’m glad to hear I’m not the only person who needs to look up the syntax. It’s got me wondering if it would be useful to add an optional “cheat sheet” link to the Math plugin. One reason to not do that is that it might make people (namely myself) less likely to memorize the syntax. I’m assuming the plugin is often used on sites that are dealing with education.

Yes, I also think this cheat sheet would be really useful for those working on math papers or educational materials. It can save time on looking up syntax, helping users stay focused without having to memorize every detail.
