Main Points Raised

  • One participant notes that in-line LaTeX was not functioning as expected, questioning the difference between the tags ##\mu,\nu## and $$\mu,\nu$$.
  • Another participant observes that the issue seems to have resolved itself, suggesting that it was fixed.
  • A participant inquires about the current status of the "itex" and "tex" tags, seeking clarification on their functionality.

Are the tags "itex" and "tex" still supposed to work?
 
I'm working on it. It is related to the message editor disappearance from earlier
 
tex tags:
[tex]\sqrt{17}[/tex]
itex tags:
[itex]\sqrt{17}[/itex]

Looks like they work just fine. After you're finished with your post, you might have to hit the browser's refresh button for the LaTeX to appear.
