It is irritating beyond belief that the TeX rendering is getting worse rather than better. The whole upgrade has been a giant cluster. Fix it or resign!

 

Any chance you could expand on your rant so that I know what needs to be fixed?

We are using using Mathjax for LaTex rendering, which is a very popular library for rendering on the web.

Inline:\( A=B \)

Block:

\[ A=B \]

 

checking the syntax/rendering ...
.
of the \displaystyle{A·\overline{B}+\overline A·B = \overline{A·B+\overline A·\overline B}\\ \sum_{n=0}^k{x_n}}
\[ \displaystyle{A·\overline{B}+\overline A·B = \overline{A·B+\overline A·\overline B}\\ \sum_{n=0}^k{x_n}} \]

and
of the A·\overline{B}+\overline A·B = \overline{A·B+\overline A·\overline B}\\ \sum_{n=0}^k{x_n}
\[ A·\overline{B}+\overline A·B = \overline{A·B+\overline A·\overline B}\\ \sum_{n=0}^k{x_n} \]
.
and the same for inline ( . . . so the displaystyle has effect in inline ... but not in block rendering)
.
\( \displaystyle{A·\overline{B}+\overline A·B = \overline{A·B+\overline A·\overline B}\\ \sum_{n=0}^k{x_n}} \)
'd
\( A·\overline{B}+\overline A·B = \overline{A·B+\overline A·\overline B\\ \sum_{n=0}^k{x_n}} \)
.
like one more test to check
.
the same latex/ajax that can't position roots right ... haa haa
\qquad S \qquad D \quad \quad A_{sub}^{sup}\\ \sqrt[^2\ \ \ ]{i}
\( \qquad S \qquad D \quad \quad A_{sub}^{sup}\\ \sqrt[^2\ \ \ ]{i} \)

 

Three things:

1. I was not prepared for the new error behavior where a syntax error resulted in the text being enclosed in a small rectangular block. In the old system it was a bit easier to debug mistakes.
   The wizard makes debugging easier without having to post and edit the resulting mistakes
2. I was not aware that "block" meant centered and smaller. In the old system it was left justified and larger than the normal text in a post.
   The distinction between "inline" and "block" was blurry in the previous implementation; makes sense I suppose.
3. The rendering of previously generated Tex entries in blogs is not rendered at all.

Edit: Nevermind 1&2, I can see what you have done and how to access the resources required. In the blogs sometimes there is text remaining and in other cases there are missing image icons where there used to be equations.

 

other but related - it's today's mentality about standards - couple of years ago i javascripted a CSS into a "perfection" (both in IE and MZFF) -- then it took 6 months and with new browser updates my whole work was drawn down the toilet as the New security improvements and rendering corrections made my half a year old perfection a cryptic mess in both mentioned browsers (with different result in each browser) . . . so what i learned

• CSS is not a Standard
• (D)HTML is not a Standard
• There is a permanent income to web developers worldwide as they have to rewrite the OLD code 2-ce a year ... at least
