AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the difficulties encountered when trying to use LaTeX for mathematical notation in a journal entry. Users report receiving a message stating "LaTeX graphic is being generated" without the expected output appearing. It is noted that LaTeX does not function in journal entries, which explains the persistent issues with rendering the mathematical expressions. Users suggest that posting directly without previewing may yield better results, as previews often do not support LaTeX rendering. The consensus is that LaTeX is not supported in the journal feature, leading to frustration among users attempting to display mathematical content.

Tried to use LateX in my journal i.e. a^2 + b^2 = c^2 but it didn't work. What I got was a box with the message "LaTeX graphic is being generated. Reload this page in a moment."

I closed it and re-opened it but I didn't get the proper math notation and I retained the same message where the graphic was supposed to be.

Did I do something wrong. How do I make this work?:frown:

Did you actually post it or just preview the post?

I know everytime I have tried to preview the post to make sure I have the LateX right it never works. Then as soon as I post it with no changes it works as long as it's not a preview.
 
Just delete and repost as necessary
 
I didn't preview and I tried closing, re-opening and closing again and the formula still does not appear, just the box with the statement that 'LaTeX graphic is being generated.' But it doesn't generate it?
 
As far as I can tell, \LaTeX hasn't worked in the Journals.
Here was my attempt https://www.physicsforums.com/journal.php?do=showjournal&j=5

Thanks ROBPHY. I thought that might be the problem.
 
That is correct, LaTex is not available in journals.
