TeXaid Translator: what should I set it to?

[Trenters4325]

Which of the following should I set my TeXaid translator to?

AMS LaTeX
AMS TeX
Plain TeX
LaTeX 2.09 and later

Correct me if I'm wrong guys, but I believe you want regular plain TeX.

 

[Trenters4325]

I see. That works, but only with one row. When you try to copy an paste multiple rows you get something like this:

\(\displaystyle $$
\eqalign{
& x{{\partial \phi } \over {\partial x}} + y{{\partial \phi } \over {\partial y}} = \phi \left( \matrix{
x \hfill \cr
y \hfill \cr} \right) \cr
& \sqrt {8658656658} \cr
& \prod {9876986986} \cr}
$$\)

I use “LaTeX 2.09 and later” and get something like this:
\[
\int_0^\pi {\sin (x)dx}
\]

Change \[ to [\tex] and change \] to [/tex] to get
\(\displaystyle \int_0^\pi {\sin (x)dx}\)

 

[Trenters4325]

Here's what I get when I do that:

[\tex]
\int_0^\pi {\sin (x)dx}
[/tex]

Here's what I get when I do that:
[\tex]
\int_0^\pi {\sin (x)dx}
[/tex]

Try \(\displaystyle
\int_0^\pi {\sin (x)dx}
\) to get \(\displaystyle \int_0^\pi {\sin (x)dx}\).

 

[Trenters4325]

What do you use instead of \(\displaystyle if you want it in Latex? Isn't it like [/L] or [\L] or something?\)

 

[Ted]

You can give that a try and report back, but I'm pretty sure this setup will only recognize \(\displaystyle tags. It may well read other types of code inside there, but I don't think an [L] will do anything.
