Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around issues related to using LaTeX for mathematical notation in journal entries on a forum. Participants explore the functionality and limitations of LaTeX in this specific context.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation, Debate/contested, Meta-discussion

Main Points Raised

  • One participant reports an issue where LaTeX code does not render correctly, displaying a message instead.
  • Another participant suggests that LaTeX works only after posting, not during the preview stage.
  • A different participant recommends deleting and reposting if issues arise.
  • One participant asserts that LaTeX has not functioned in the journals, providing a link to their attempt.
  • Another participant acknowledges the previous comment about LaTeX not working in journals.
  • A later reply confirms that LaTeX is indeed not available in journals.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree that LaTeX does not function in journal entries, but there is some uncertainty regarding the specifics of how it behaves during the posting versus previewing process.

Contextual Notes

Limitations include the lack of clarity on whether the issue is related to user actions or inherent platform restrictions regarding LaTeX functionality.

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.
