When I use Latex, the expression always comes out on a separate line. How do I keep the expression on the same line?

I'm guessing you mean at PF? In that case, use ## ## as delimiters. For example

The famous relation ##E=mc^2## was derived by Einstein

renders as

The famous relation ##E = mc^2## was derived by Einstein
 
Whoa, there seems to be a bug. I'll move the thread to the feedback forum.

How about using ##y=mx+b## number signs?
This one comes out ok in Safari.

Edit:

And ##E=m c^2## formula?

Safari on iPad Pro.
Both formulas come out correctly, but the one 1 posted in #2 still displays incorrectly. What is going on?

The equation in the last line renders just fine for me. I'm using IE 11 on Win 7.
 
It doesn't work on Opera 54 either.

As of Safari 11.1.1, it renders correctly.
 
I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate, and after post #9, I checked with all 3 (Firefox, Opera & Chrome latest versions), and none of them renders it correctly.
So is it a device specific issue?
 
Hey, I just figured that if I use the Opera built-in VPN on Windows 7, the equations render correctly. But really it should render at all times. Can someone tell me what's wrong?
