Question

How do I type the integral symbol?

Answer 1

Will the integral sign be followed by more math? Then use the built-in equation editor. It may look daunting at first, but you'll soon be able to produce beautiful formulas such as:

[math]\int_a^b f(x) dx[/math]

Otherwise, just type the integral symbol as a character: ∫. This allows you to continue typing text in the same paragraph, like ∫f(x)dx, for example.
