Topic: Is Punbb suitable for a Maths Forum?

Hi all

Some of us are interested in setting up a Maths Forum, where we can share ideas, solutions, and support each other.

Does Mybb have any mods available for the editor (code box) that has mathematical charecters (symbols)? like squared (^2), pi, etc, etc

If not can you suggest any other boards?

Thanks in advance.

It is the mathematical markup format used by eg. Wikipedia.
