off topic: math symbols for latex

off topic: math symbols for latex

[Patrick Gundlach]

Hi,

this is a nice website where you can draw a symbol with your mouse and
the site will tell you how you get the symbol in LaTeX. Again, LaTeX tries to
be one step ahead... :)

This tool is a few days (ok, maybe weeks) old. Most symbols are equal
anyway, but I'm sure that you can convince the author to add ConTeXt
commands as well. (He claims to be LaTeX beginner, so handling ConTeXt
should be equally trivial for him :)
