I am using MW1.9.3 on FreeBSD and am having some
trouble the syntax for

I have read and experimented with the basics as per

and mostly failed to produce anything but errors. Syntax.
Is there a source of current (MW1.9.3) syntax for the math package ?
First of all, MW 1.9.3 is not current, it's a seven-month-old security
fix for an eight-month-old branch. The current version is 1.11.0.
Second of all, <math> syntax is just LaTeX, for the most part, with
certain parts omitted (basically assume that all code is inside
$$...$$ or \[ ... \]). For tutorials on how to use LaTeX, try
Googling for that, which is really beyond the scope of this list.
Third of all, source code for everything is always available from
http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/ .

Thanks for the pointer. More reading.
I know MW 1.9.3 is a couple of versions/revisions behind. When you are trying
to learn the HowToo's sticking with a particular branch is not a bad idea.
Thanks
