The text input in the first window is typeset using the TEX language and is translated into HTML using the TTH compiler installed on our server. You have to view documents using the Western character set ISO-8859, which is generally set by default in recent browsers. If this page doesn't display the symbols correctly, please refer to the following link for troubleshooting. Three commands are reserved in TTH for interfacing with HTML documents:

\href{http://address}{text} create a hypertext anchor (link text to http://address)
\special{html:stuff} inserts HTML stuff
%%tth: ... passes the rest of the comment to TtH (not TeX) for parsing

Normal ASCII input is interpreted in text mode and TEX commands starting with the backslash character \ are used for formatting. Mathematical symbols are typed in math mode delimited by two dollar signs ($\partial_t f$ yields t f) or in an equation of the form
\begin{equation}\label{advection}
\frac{d}{dt}f \equiv 
\frac{\partial f}{\partial t} 
  +u\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}=0
\end{equation}
        yields
d
dt
f º f
t
+ u f
x
= 0
(1)

where ( ef{advection}) yields (1) and can be used for reference within the document.
