			#\mbox{} does not seem to work in most situations

			Be sure you are not including any custom macros in you equations.

	===TeX Equations===		===TeX Equations===
	We have added the ability to place TeX style equations on WikiROMS pages. This is a two step process with some caveats. First you need to encase the area where you would like to place your inline and/or block equations in '''<nowiki><wikitex></wikitex></nowiki>''' tags.

	~~Example:~~
	:<div class="box"><nowiki><wikitex>The momentum balance in the $x$- and $y$-directions are:</nowiki><br><br><nowiki>$$\frac{\partial u}{\partial t} + \vec{v} \cdot \nabla u - fv =</nowiki><br><nowiki>- \frac{\partial \phi}{\partial x} + {\cal F}_u + {\cal D}_u \eqno{(1)}$$</nowiki><br><nowiki></wikitex></nowiki></div>

	~~will produce:~~

	~~<wikitex>The momentum balance in the $x$- and $y$-directions are:~~

	~~$$\frac{\partial u}{\partial t} + \vec{v} \cdot \nabla u - fv = - \frac{\partial \phi}{\partial x} + {\cal F}_u + {\cal D}_u \eqno{(1)}$$~~
	~~</wikitex>~~

	As you can see from the example, you should enclose inline equations in single dollar signs ('''$''') and block equations in double dollar signs ('''$$'''). You can also add equation numbers with '''\eqno'''.

	{{note}}'''Note:''' You have to be sure that '''<nowiki><wikitex></nowiki>''' tags do not enclose section headings ('''<nowiki>==Section Name==</nowiki>''') because this will break the table of contents and section editing.
