LaTeX How can I fix messed up LaTeX in my old posts?

[Fredrik]

I noticed that the LaTeX in one of my old posts is messed up. The problems start with this piece:

$[/color]C:(a,b)\to \mathbb R^4$[/color]

The result should look like this:

$C:(a,b)\to \mathbb R^4$

But instead it looks like this:

$C:(a,b)\to \mathbb R^4$.

Actually it's even worse. The 4 is on a new line, and the rest of the paragraph is messed up even worse. https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/active-and-passive-lorentz-transformation.679890/#post-4316036

Is there a better fix for this than to use "plain" tags as I did above?

I'll look into switching the smilie codes

Did you change something? The two lines in Fredrik's post look exactly the same here (apart from the period at the end).

Thanks Greg.

For those who found this thread after Greg made the change: There was a sad smiley after the C. In the thread I linked to, the 4 after the ^ appeared on a new line, and then the rest of the paragraph was messed up. Some plain text was interpreted as LaTeX and some LaTeX was interpreted as plain text.
