Troubleshooting LaTeX Graphics in PF Blogs

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the functionality of LaTeX in Physics Forums (PF) blogs and private messages. Participants explore whether LaTeX can be used for rendering mathematical expressions and graphics within these platforms, as well as share experiences and challenges encountered while attempting to use it.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant reports that LaTeX is not functioning in their blog, specifically mentioning an example expression that fails to render.
  • Another participant suggests trying itex as an alternative, but later confirms that itex also does not work.
  • A participant states that LaTeX is not available in blogs and provides a link to a related thread for reference.
  • There is a discussion about the availability of LaTeX in private messages, with one participant confirming it does not work there either.
  • One participant speculates on potential reasons for the unavailability of LaTeX in blogs, citing server load and the risk of incorrect mathematical content being published.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree that LaTeX is not available in blogs and private messages, but there is some uncertainty regarding the use of itex as a potential alternative. The reasons for the unavailability of LaTeX are speculative and not universally accepted.

Contextual Notes

Participants mention limitations related to the rendering of LaTeX, but do not provide specific details on the technical aspects or definitions that may be influencing the discussion.

does LaTex work in the blogs in PF? it is not working in my blog? i tried the following:
e^{i\pi} + 1 = 0

but it doesn't show on the blog. it says: "LaTex graphics is being generated. Reload this page in a moment." but it doesn't work even after i reload.

I don't think it does, but try itex, that one may work instead.
 
Hello,
i have a difficult ( for me ) problem : i have download FEYNMF and i draw the Feynman diagrams but WITHOUT label (example mu , nu , Z, e-, e+, etc.etc.) . Help , thanks

LaTeX in private messages?

It appears that \LaTeX isn't available in private messages, as well.
I just tried to send a PM with \LaTeX to myself (in the hope that I could use it as a \LaTeX preview).
No luck. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

:smile: I'm okay now. :frown: :cry: :cry: :cry:

can one really send PM to himself/herself?
 
Try and see.

What a pity. It would be so nice to make some note as you go along and learn more about physics. But then I can imagine two reasons why it is not available:
  1. too much load on the server,
  2. danger that too much wrong math gets published.
Given the size of blogs, I don't think (1) could be a problem.
