Thanks

$\begingroup$ @Willie and AD. :-DD @Yuan. More seriously: look at some questions an answers. Particularly, when there is a link on the right side of "edited", at the end. Click on it. Then click on "view source". This lingo is called "LaTeX". $\endgroup$– Agustí RoigNov 3 '10 at 22:20

TO briefly expand on Agusti's answer, $\LaTeX$ is used to represent math. You simply put the symbol $ in front of and after the math.
You can see the $\LaTeX$ crash course here. Just use dollar signs instead of their [tex] and [\tex] symbols. You can practice in their forums if you like. They have a button where you can preview $\LaTeX$.

2$\begingroup$ I think you meant to type
\LaTeX($\LaTeX$) and not\Latex($\Latex$). $\endgroup$– user856Nov 4 '10 at 2:19 -
$\begingroup$ Yes, the camel caps matter (also with
\TeX). $\endgroup$ Nov 4 '10 at 3:51 -

$\begingroup$ how bout $\LaTeXe$? $\endgroup$– 97832123Nov 7 '10 at 1:31

$\begingroup$ @978: Perhaps
\LaTeX2e($\LaTeX2e$). Edit: Huh, that's not the $2_{\textstyle\varepsilon}$ logo I'm familiar with. $\endgroup$– user856Nov 7 '10 at 4:43 -
