Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around issues related to the poor quality and unreadability of LaTeX output, particularly in the context of browser compatibility and image rendering. Participants share their experiences and hypotheses regarding the problem, which appears to be affecting the display of mathematical expressions.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation, Debate/contested, Meta-discussion

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses frustration with the unreadable quality of LaTeX output, providing a link to an image as an example.
  • Another participant suggests that the output may have been exported as a PNG with transparency issues, which could affect readability.
  • Several participants report similar experiences with LaTeX code appearing poorly formatted.
  • A participant questions the browser being used and suggests that an outdated browser may not support the image format properly, recommending an upgrade.
  • Another participant agrees that the issue is likely related to browser compatibility, specifically mentioning Internet Explorer 6 as problematic.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree that the issue is related to browser compatibility, particularly with older versions, but there is no consensus on the exact cause or solution beyond upgrading the browser.

Contextual Notes

The discussion highlights potential limitations related to browser support for image formats and the rendering of LaTeX code, but does not resolve the underlying technical issues.

am I having a problem with it? The quality of it is so bad I cannot read any of it. It looks like this.

Looks like
g = \frac{2}{3} (\sin x) (\frac{7?}{4} + \frac{3}{58} \sin^{3?} x) + \frac{9?}{7} (x?) (\frac{3}{8} x) - \frac{5}{26?} (x?) (\frac{2}{8}?)

Probably it was exported as PNG and someone screwed up the transparency :(
 
all the ladex code looks like this for me =(

What browser are you using? If it's not up to date, then it's possible that the image format is not supported. Upgrading to the latest release of the browser should fix the issue.

As cristo said this is a browser issue. It occurs for IE6. We can't continue to support older browsers.
