LaTeX Fix Latex Formatting: Tips for Troubleshooting and Using Latex on Your Webpage

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around issues with LaTeX formatting not displaying correctly in the "Preview" mode of a forum. A user initially encountered problems with LaTeX syntax (##...## or $$...$$) not rendering, leading to confusion about its functionality. Another participant confirmed that LaTeX worked in their preview, suggesting that the issue might be browser-related or dependent on whether LaTeX is already present on the page. Clearing the browser cache was recommended as a potential solution, which ultimately resolved the issue for the user. The conversation also referenced a previous discussion about similar LaTeX loading problems.

Greetings,

I was just attempting to post some content that would include some simple Latex formatting with either ##...## or $$...$$.

Neither worked for me under "Preview" instead merely displaying ##...## for example.

I was under the impression that the Latex formatting should work under "Preview".ES

Hmmm I just tested and it worked in preview mode. What browser are you using? Try clearing your cache.
 
I think it depends if there's LaTeX already on the page. So LaTeX will work in preview here because #1 contains LaTeX, but not on (e.g.) Lame Jokes which doesn't have any LaTeX on its current page.

Firefox on Linux. I will try that. Thanks.

Clearing the cache seems to have worked.
