Where Can I Find Instructions for PF Tasks?

In summary, there is no single location for instructions on specific tasks such as entering equations using LaTeX, entering hypertext, embedding pictures and YouTube videos on posts. It would be helpful to include links in the forum Guidelines sticky. However, these instructions can also be found in various threads and in the FAQ section.

I was wondering, where do we keep the instructions for certain tasks

such as:
how to enter equations in using LaTeX,
how to enter hypertext
how to embed a picture so that it shows up visibly on our post,
how to embed a youtube video, so that it shows up, in interactive form, on our post.

I suspect we have instructions posted on these and other tasks, but I missing where to access them..
(So far, I have only been guessing, based on what others have done, but my methods seem tedious compared with the tasks I am trying to accomplish).

There's no single place where all of these are described. It would probably be a good idea to put links/hyperlinks into the forum Guidelines sticky.

Anyway...

Latex: https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=8997

Hotkeys:

BB Code (incl. images, youtube, etc.):
https://www.physicsforums.com/misc.php?do=bbcode

Smilies:
https://www.physicsforums.com/misc.php?do=smilies

Most of these can be accessed directly from the options available in the "Go Advanced" posting window.

Thanks for your suggestions..

In following them, I also found this one that covers, equations, images, attachments, smilies, (predated youtube embedding) https://www.physicsforums.com/faq.php

I recall we had this link on our front page, but don't see it there now.
