Why when I click on a TEX formula the window that shows up, the second ["tex"] bracket (the closing one /tex) doesn't have the "/tex", but just "tex". Missing the closing forward slash.

Watch: (Click)
<br /> H_{ell}^o = W_o^r L_d<br />

should read
Code:
['tex]
H_{ell}^o = W_o^r L_d
[/tex]

but reads
Code:
[tex]
H_{ell}^o = W_o^r L_d
[tex]
 
Physics news on Phys.org
<br /> H_{ell}^o = W_o^r L_d<br />
 
What's the tic mark for in your first Code example?

You're right, I'm on it, thanks.
 
I want to thank those members who interacted with me a couple of years ago in two Optics Forum threads. They were @Drakkith, @hutchphd, @Gleb1964, and @KAHR-Alpha. I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...
About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
