Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the proper notation for recursion in LaTeX, focusing on formatting issues and typesetting challenges encountered by participants. The scope includes technical aspects of LaTeX usage and notation experimentation.

Discussion Character

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses frustration with their initial LaTeX attempt and requests to delete the original post.
  • Another participant questions why only the first LaTeX formula is displaying correctly, indicating a potential issue with their formatting.
  • A third participant suggests that the problem may be due to using a backslash instead of a forward slash in the closing itex tag.
  • A fourth post contains an example of LaTeX notation experimentation without additional context.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

The discussion does not appear to reach a consensus, as participants are addressing different aspects of LaTeX formatting and notation without resolving the underlying issues.

Contextual Notes

Okay, my first attempt at LaTex was terrible, and the post originally made in this space was undecipherable. I requestd this thread be deleted, and I'll be posting a proper (I hope) version in a separate thread.

Thanks for your patience.

How come only the first LaTex formula is showing up typeset? What am I doing wrong?
 
You need a forward slash in the closing itex tag, not a backslash.
 
LaTex notation experimentation - no other content, so don't pay any attention to this post.
