Just to formalize something that's in the works, but which I'd like feedback on: a help center page on LaTeX would be useful. It doesn't have to be (and probably shouldn't be) deployed to all sites, because most won't need to have MathJax enabled, but it would be nice to have a basic page that sites can add to their help center if need be. I wrote up an addendum to [Scientific Speculation's help center page on formatting](https://scientific-speculation.codidact.com/help/formatting) discussing basic LaTeX usage, and I'm working on expanding that to make it more detailed. I imagine that individual sites could customize it. For instance, if there's a site about Chemistry and if they decide to enable the [`mhchem`](https://www.ctan.org/pkg/mhchem) package, they could add in a subsection about writing formulas. If the Electrical Engineering site wanted to make it easier for folks to write circuit diagrams using tikz (though of course there are other ways to do that), they could add in a section about tikz. Bottom line: It would be good to have a basic page sites can choose to include and customize if they want.
