LaTeX Fixing LaTeX: Tips for Writing In-Line Code

[Pengwuino]

WAAAAAAH How do I fix latex?

When I want to write out tex code in-line with my normal writing, it does stuff like this

blah blah blah {3\epsilon^3}\over{\pi} more blah blah blah

whereas before it use to be continuous, now it creates a separate row for the tex code. Why come? FIX IT FIX IT FIX IT FIX IT. :) *hugs*

I will fetch Greg for you.

 

[Pengwuino]

Greg is going to slap me with a fish and tell me I should have been paying attention to the rumblings about changing to some uncool new latex code. BOOOOOO.

 

[flyingpig]

I will fetch SammyS for you, he knows what to do!

This is in a new line: a = x^2.

This should be inline a = x^2.

 

[Pengwuino]

This is in a new line: a = x^2.

This should be inline a = x^2 - or at least I think that was the idea behind.

ohh, so the tex changes to itex?

 

[Borek]

Yes, but I just found another bug - noparse tags are ignored by MathJax.

Thank goodness, i took this the wrong way and thought Pengwuino had bust her cat woman. suit.

I thought he broke a different latex product

Just FYI, we've had itex from the very beginning.

It's not a bug. Just that MathJax and Vbulletin aren't in communication.

It doesn't work as expected. Here, in Poland, we call it a bug

Maybe your expectations were wrong.

 

[Borek]

Maybe your expectations were wrong.

That's how it worked up to now, that makes my expectations realistic, doesn't it?

Which - as I just realized - means there is a chance some of my earlier posts in which I explained to people how to use LaTeX can be now wrong

Edit, Greg: problems with MathJax servers and Opera are back. Or perhaps they never really disappeared.

chroot's plugin extended into the bbcode, mathjax is completely seperate

Ah yes, some others call it "features".

[Greg Bernhardt]

haha nice borek! btw, are you using Opera 11.11?

 

[Borek]

Yes, the newest one.

 

[AlephZero]

A feature is a bug that has been documented.

So you can never fix a feature, otherwise the documentation would be wrong

 

[Hurkyl]

We must retain the bug for backwards compatibility?

I broke latex only once, and spent the next 2 months dreading the possibility of a paternity suit. Luckily, the target avoided the approach of my soldiers.

But that's what have been broken!

This is in a new line: a = x^2.

This should be inline a = x^2.

**** ! Thanks
