SUMMARY

The forum discussion addresses issues with LaTeX rendering in specific articles related to the Gullstrand-Painleve and Doran metrics. Users report consistent LaTeX errors when viewing the content in both Firefox and Chrome browsers. The discussion highlights the importance of verifying LaTeX formatting before reaching out to authors via private message (PM). Participants confirm that the equations provided are functional despite the rendering issues, indicating a need for better LaTeX compatibility across browsers.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of LaTeX typesetting for mathematical equations
  • Familiarity with the Gullstrand-Painleve and Doran metrics in physics
  • Basic knowledge of browser compatibility issues
  • Experience with private messaging etiquette in academic forums
NEXT STEPS
  • Research LaTeX troubleshooting techniques for common rendering issues
  • Explore browser-specific LaTeX rendering capabilities and limitations
  • Learn about the Gullstrand-Painleve and Doran metrics in greater detail
  • Investigate best practices for communicating with authors regarding content errors
USEFUL FOR

Physics students, researchers working with LaTeX, and anyone encountering rendering issues in academic articles will benefit from this discussion.

I've been intrigued for some time by the following posts, but they all have lots of Latex errors (at least for me, Firefox/Linux).

Can anyone confirm they are broken before I make an idiot of myself in a PM, and in any case is it appropriate to PM for this sort of thing?

I see a lot of broken Latex with FireFox

[tex] \begin{flalign} <br /> dt\,+\,\frac{\beta}{1-\beta^2}\,dr&=&d\bar{t}&=& &d\breve{t}-\,\frac{1}{1+\beta}\,dr\\[6mm] <br /> d\phi\,+\,\frac{\beta}{1-\beta^2}\,\frac{a}{(r^2+a^2)}\,dr&=&d\bar{\phi}&=& &d\breve{\phi}\,-\,\frac{1}{1+\beta}\,\frac{a}{(r^2+a^2)}\,dr <br /> \end{flalign}[/tex]
This is it fixed.
[tex] \begin{align} <br /> dt\,+\,\frac{\beta}{1-\beta^2}\,dr&=d\bar{t}= d\breve{t}-\,\frac{1}{1+\beta}\,dr\\ <br /> d\phi\,+\,\frac{\beta}{1-\beta^2}\,\frac{a}{(r^2+a^2)}\,dr &= d\bar{\phi}= d\breve{\phi}\,-\,\frac{1}{1+\beta}\,\frac{a}{(r^2+a^2)}\,dr <br /> \end{align}[/tex]

Heh, I am already using those equations, they seem to work just fine ;) I just wanted to see how he puts it all together, it sounded interesting, and not too far above my level. BTW it looks just as broken in Chrome.
