Hidden TeX Commands in Google Docs

I use TeX to do my math homework on Google Docs. I quickly realized that it supported more symbols than the documentation leads on. I dug through the editor source and found the list of the TeX commands that the Google Docs Editor currently supports. Here are all of them. Let me know if I'm wrong on the name of the symbol/operator.
