The discussion centers around the functionality of the \leftflush command on the site, with participants clarifying that there is no such command; the correct command is \flushleft. It is noted that while MathJax primarily supports LaTeX for typesetting formulas rather than text, users seeking to align text should consider using the left align button available during posting. Concerns are raised about the potential ineffectiveness of the \leftflush command even if it were accepted by MathJax.

Does the \leftflush command work on this site? Yea or Nea?
Are you sure you are not talking about the [m]flushleft[/m] environment? Which package is the [m]\leftflush[/m] command from?
This site uses MathJax, which, as I understand it, implements primarily the part of LaTeX used for typesetting formulas and not text. Do you want to align text?

There is no command known as [m]\leftfllush[/m]. [m]\flushleft[/m] command is the correct one. Even if the command is accepted by MATHJAX, it might not give pleasing results. I suggest you to use the left align button available while posting.
Last year, I submitted a manuscript to PRD. I noticed that all ",i.e.," are modified into "-i.e.," by the editor.
Therefore, in my recent manuscript, I typed "---i.e.," in LaTeX. However, all the "-i.e.," are modified again into "-i.e.," by the editor. I could not distinguish the difference between them.
So, how should I correctly type "-i.e.," in LaTeX? Thanks.
