The issue discussed involves the incorrect display of LaTeX code in a forum, specifically showing e^{z/y} instead of the intended e^{x/y}. The user experiencing the problem is using Firefox 14.0.1 and has attempted to clear the cache without resolution. Another user confirms that the display appears correct in Safari 4.1.3. A key tip shared is to enclose multiple characters following ^ or _ in curly braces to avoid display errors. Proper formatting is essential for correct rendering of mathematical expressions in forums.

The question is:
\int_0^1\int_x^1e^\frac{x}{y}dydx=\frac{1}{2}(e-1)

I have no idea why but my browser shows e^{z/y} instead of e^{x/y} as the itex code is written. I am using Firefox 14.0.1
I tried clearing cache, etc but the problem still persists. Is this some bug with the forum?

hi sharks! :smile:

(looks ok to me on Safari 4.1.3)

if you have more than one character after ^ or _ you should always put them inside {} …

funny things may happen if you don't! o:)
