Writing math symbols
Fragment of a discussion from Science talk:MER
Hi Alfred,
It is a good point, but I'm not sure we can get access to that kind of modifications. The wiki is used by the entire UBC community. If you look at the math pages on wikipedia, they end up doing something similar to what we try here. In the end it is not perfect, but works well enough.
One annoying issue are double derivatives... the ' ' has the wiki believe it should be italics. And besides ugly things such as using a nowiki tag, there isn't much we can do except going in math mode.

Maybe we can try using double quotation marks for the inline text (although you have to add a space between the f and the " )? The two apostrophes work with the <math> tags.
Examples:
Inline f "(x).
