This is a known phenomenon. If you quote excerpts, then MathJax marks are often lost. @Greg Bernhardt explained it (a technical reason) in another thread but I have forgotten where and why. If you don't want to correct the code, then it's best to reply to the entire post and delete what isn't needed for your reply. I have the shortcut [/Quote]<my comment>[Quote] on the keyboard which allows me to insert comments in between.Stephen Tashi said:The problem I had didn't involve quoting the entire original post.

LaTex is a typesetting language commonly used in the scientific community for writing and formatting documents, particularly those with complex mathematical equations.
In most message editors, you can use LaTex by enclosing your equation or formula in double dollar signs ($$). This will tell the editor to interpret the text as LaTex code rather than regular text.
Double dollar signs are a common way to quote LaTex code in message editors, but some editors may have their own rules for quoting. It's possible that your editor is conflicting with the double dollar sign syntax, causing problems with quoting.
If you are having issues with quoting double dollar LaTex, you can try using a different syntax for quoting, such as backticks (`) or single quotes (''). You can also try adjusting your editor's settings to allow for double dollar sign quoting.
Yes, there are several alternatives to using double dollar signs for LaTex in message editors. Some editors have built-in LaTex support, while others may require the use of special plugins or extensions. It's important to research your specific editor to find the best method for including LaTex in your messages.
