LaTeX Books:
If you have problems with the LaTeX syntax, have a look at LaTeX books at amazon.com.
One of the best LaTeX books is probably Guide to LaTeX
by Kopka and Daly.

Examples:
- You can use <br> to start a new line (outside anau eq-tag):
I like <eq>\pi</eq>,<br>
but I hate <eq>e</eq>!

- <eq>\int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-x^2}dx=\sqrt \pi</eq>

- <eq>\frac{1}{2} = 0.5</eq>

- <eq>f(n) = \begin{cases} n/2, & \mbox{if }n\mbox{ is even} \\ 3n+1, & \mbox{if }n\mbox{ is odd} \end{cases}</eq>
