   Format: MarkdownI've started listing differences between iTeX and LaTeX in the [[FAQ]]. That seemed the most logical place (I don't think we want a proliferation of places where users should look to find simple information) so either here or the HowTo seemed best. I chose the FAQ because the most likely time someone is going to look for this is when they notice something didn't look right. The issue is that whilst iTeX is meant to be close to LaTeX they are **never** going to be the same so it's worth listing known differences with their work-arounds. So far I've noted operator names, whitespace in `\text`, and some oddities on number handling.
