Preview in the DM area

There are ongoing issues with the preview function in the DM area, causing text rendering problems, particularly with mathematical expressions. Users have experienced difficulties where double dollar signs do not render correctly and refreshing leads to ASCII code output. While some users report that previews work in other contexts, the DM area seems to be problematic. It is suggested that these issues may stem from template selection. The conversation highlights the need for further investigation into the preview functionality.

Could it be that we still have those former preview issues in the DM area? I just totally destroyed my text while trying to use previews and refreshes. First, it didn't render text in double dollars, and playing around with refreshes produced ASCII code again.

hmmm I just tested in here and preview worked for me
Yes, here. I mean, in a DM. I tested

Proof: If there is a prime number ##p## such that ##p\in\mathbb{Q}##, then we have an equation
$$
\sqrt{p} = \dfrac{r}{s}\quad (*),
$$
where we may assume that ##r,s## are coprime. Hence, ##p \cdot s^2=r^2.## Thus ##p## divides ##r,## say, ##r=q\cdot p.## Then ##r^2=q^2\cdot p^2## and ##s^2=q^2\cdot p.## This, however, implies that ##p## divides ##s## and ##r/s## wasn't coprime contradicting our assumption. This means that the equation ##(*)## does not exist and ##\sqrt{p}\not\in \mathbb{Q}.##

and didn't get a preview at all. (The first time prior to this thread yielded a preview except for
$$
\sqrt{p} = \dfrac{r}{s}\quad (*),
$$
which didn't render at all. A few refreshes later, I had ASCII.

Refresh works after posting, but not while typing.
 
oh I thought this was a DM lol. Yeah I see it doesn't work. This is likely a template selection issue. I'll look into it.
 
I have some solemn news to report. Many in the community had been wondering where the prolific @Vanadium 50 has been. V50 hasn't posted a message in nearly a year. After months of questioning, the mentor group dug in and did some investigation and we're confident V50 passed away early this year. Few members need reminding what kind of force @Vanadium 50 was for the community and physics. A mentor for 5+ years and an annual award winner seemingly every other year. He has a top 10 post count...
