I can no longer render LaTeX

[PeterDonis]

latex should be fixed in message fields aka in homework help, and in quote blocks now

I'm having a somewhat different problem: whatever is going on in the editor changes my LaTeX to symbols like those from the "insert symbol" dropdown, but only after I hit "Post". It previews as LaTeX but posts as symbols. That is most emphatically not the behavior I want or expect. For one thing, LaTeX is more readable than those symbols.

I agree with @fresh_42 that whatever change happened to the editor is causing more problems than it solves.

hmm yeah latex appears to be rendering in the editor outside of preview now. fix one thing, break another...

I agree, but it was part of a core software update. Not my decision. The sync between mathjax, the editor, preview and when and when not to render is a bit of a jungle gym.

ok this should be fixed now

Let's see.$$F=\frac{GMm}{r^2}$$$p=\rho gd$

Renders ok in preview.

Edit: seems ok in the post and now when editing the post too.

ok this should be fixed now

Testing: $p = w \rho$.

 

[PeterDonis]

Looks ok now, yes.

 

[fresh_42]

Renders ok in preview.

Test with quoted text.
\begin{align*}
F&\sim\ddot x
\end{align*}

Inline a) $\mathbb{R}$, b) \mathbb{C}, and single lined c) $$\mathbb{C}$$, \mathbb{C}.

Preview: check
Post: we'll see in a second
Edit mode: check
Preview in edit mode: check
$$\checkmark$$
Edited post: we'll see in a second

Edit: Well done and congratulations @Greg Bernhardt. I couldn't find a flaw, and I have really tried!

Addendum: Although the tags [iTex] and [Tex] worked while I had tested the above functionality, they do not work now anymore that I have revisited the page, including the preview:

hmmm not sure I understand. How can I reproduce?

This is what I see:

If you edit my post (#67) then you see the correct code, and it also renders correctly in preview. Just not after posting it (anymore).

This is no problem for me, since I do not really use the Tex and iTex tags, only the abbreviations with hashtag and dollars. But it should be known.
