You can align multi-line equations. Look at the source for the below equation to find out how.

<div style="margin-left: 3em;">
+
<math>
+
\begin{align}
+
\bar f(x) &= \oint_S g(x) dx \\
+
&= \int_a^b g(x) dx \\
+
&= \frac{\mu_0}{2 \pi a \cdot b}
+
\end{align}

Matlab code, for example, should be entered specially to allow Rhea to ignore all the symbols Matlab uses. <nowiki><pre></pre></nowiki> should be used to accomplish this and the results look like the following.

Unformatted Text Elements (e.g. code)

Matlab code, for example, should be entered specially to allow Rhea to ignore all the symbols Matlab uses. <pre></pre> should be used to accomplish this and the results look like the following.

Hello, World!
