I don't know if this is the appropriate place to ask, but when I type three T*'s directly after each other the following string of symbols appears: TTT* (I typed three T*'s). What's the cause of this? Obviously, it has nothing to to with my computer because in the title field this doesn't happen. If I type three V*'s: VVV*.

  • $\begingroup$ @ShubhamSinghrawat I typed three times a T* (like in the title field, where nothing changes), without a space between them: TTT*. You see what comes out. $\endgroup$ Dec 28, 2016 at 0:12

*stuff* is for italic formatting. To insert an actual *, type a backslash before the star: \*

But I suspect that you're looking for math formatting: $T^T^$ typed $T^*T^*$.

For more information, look at the bar with formatting buttons above the edit box, and follow the link to the help center.
