LaTeX test thread: Breeden-Litzenberger formula

Just to see if I can post equations from LaTeX properly if I want to do so.
For this post, I'll use the Breeden-Litzenberger formula, which provides a link between the risk-neutral probability distribution of a stock price at time T and current call prices.
The LaTeX code is as follows:
f_{T}^{S }\left( K\right) = e^{{r}\left( T-t\right)} \dfrac {\partial ^{2}C_{t}} {\partial K^{2}}
The image of the equation is shown below...
The f stands for the density function. The superscript S just indicates the particular stock/asset that the density function is for, while the subscript T represents the time. Also, f is a function of K, the strike price of the call option. C-subscript-t is just the price of the call option at some time t less than T, and r is the continuously compounded risk-free interest rate.
For anyone else trying to learn some LaTeX skills, you can go to a website at webdemo.visionobjects.com where you can just draw in an equation in etch-a-sketch fashion, generate some code automatically from that, edit out any errors, and then generate an image of a proper looking equation.
