    Failing Latex
AI Thread Summary
There is an ongoing issue with LaTeX rendering in post previews, resulting in garbled output. This bug has persisted for several months, and the temporary solution is to refresh or reload the browser after clicking the preview button. Users have suggested creating a sticky or FAQ to address this problem prominently. A user inquired about how to refresh their browser, specifically in Firefox, and received guidance on using the circular arrow button, the "reload" option in the view menu, or the Ctrl+R shortcut. The temporary fix has been acknowledged as acceptable by users experiencing the problem.

I think there's a problem with latex when previewing a post; it comes out all garbled.

This is a known bug which has been around for a few months. The solution, for now, is to use your browser's refresh or reload command after you've pressed the preview button.

Perhaps we could have some sticky or FAQ somewhere prominent to explain this?
 
That would help.

Hi. Could someone tell me how to "refresh" my browser this way please. I don't see a "refresh" menu item. I use Firefox ver. 3.6.3.

Thanks,

Jack
 
Use the button that looks like a circular arrow...or choose "reload" on the "view" menu...or just hit Ctrl+R.
 
Oh man . . . that's nice! :) I'm not one to complain so I haven't said anything as that has been a real problem for me for the past 100 posts. That's an acceptable temporary fix in my opinion.

Thanks!


This is a test \sqrt{x^2+2}.
