Typo
  • While [ArtOfCode's answer](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/289221/289222#answer-289222) explains that this is unlikely to be fixed in the near future, there is a workaround. If you decide that you need a character such as φ in the brief usage guidance that shows on hover, you can achieve this as follows:
  • ## Workaround
  • - Go to the [bode-plot tag page](https://electrical.codidact.com/categories/26/tags/2925).
  • - Copy the literal `φ` that you see in the usage guidance section.
  • - Edit the usage guidance and replaces the `&phi;` HTML entity with the literal `φ`.
  • This will now show correctly in both the usage guidance section and the usage guidance that appears on hover. You can use the same approach for any other symbol that you would otherwise use an HTML entity for.
