Quoting from Insights articles in the "Discuss in the Community" thread raises concerns about browser and mathjax limitations. Users suggest accessing the source code to copy direct LaTeX code for accurate mathematical representation. This method allows for better formatting than simply copying symbols, which may not transfer correctly. After removing unnecessary HTML codes, the process appears to function effectively. Overall, the discussion focuses on finding a reliable way to quote complex mathematical content from articles.
