Solutions to Irreducible Polynomials & Quotient Rings

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on resolving formatting issues encountered when using the WYSIWYG editor in a forum post about irreducible polynomials and quotient rings. The user, Peter, experiences problems with LaTeX code not rendering correctly due to extraneous formatting tags. Mark, a knowledgeable member, advises switching to the standard editor to avoid these issues, emphasizing that the WYSIWYG editor can introduce unwanted formatting codes. Peter confirms he will change his editor settings to the standard option to rectify the problem.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of LaTeX formatting for mathematical expressions

I have just finished a post entitled:
[h=1]http://mathhelpboards.com/linear-abstract-algebra-14/irreducible-polynomials-quotient-rings-rotman-proposition-3-116-a-16163.html[/h]on the Linear and Abstract Algebra Forum ...

I want to have the following code recognised:

k(z) \subseteq \text{ I am } \phi

recognised ... BUT when I highlight the text and press sigma, the result is as follows: ?

$$k(z) \subseteq $$$$\text{ I am } \phi$$

Can anyone help me fix this weird problem ...

Peter

You have all kinds of formatting tags in the body of your post. Please do yourself a HUGE favor and use the standard editor as opposed to the WYSIWYG editor. When you copy/paste from other editors to the editor here, if you are using the WYSIWYG editor, you will also get, unbeknownst to you, potentially all kinds of formatting codes that will ruin your post. If you are using the standard editor, you will only get the actual text you want when you paste.

The WYSIWYG editor is fine for the casual poster who isn't doing anything sophisticated, but for those more advanced posters, such as yourself, the standard editor is the only way to go. You can change the default editor in your settings.

As a vBulletin coder, I have grown to despise the WYSIWYG editor because it really can make adding editor features problematic and a chore. It is an inline document with innerHTML that must be navigated rather than a simple textarea element that is easily written to and copied from...but I digress. :)

Thanks Mark ... appreciate your prompt help ...

I will now go to settings and try to change the editor ...

I have changed the "Message Editor Interface: " to the Standard Editor ... hope that is the right thing to do ...
