New math rendering engine

Not obviously so, though there is rather a lot of TeX on that page.

On MF only some of the TeX shows the behaviour in question. Much of it renders just fine. No, I don't know why that should be.

In my experience with the link I posted, MathJax has a "quick preview" followed by better-rendered images that follow shortly thereafter, where "shortly" depends on the total quantity of rendering done. On my page, given the considerable amount of TeX, the delay is on the order of 5-10 seconds. Perhaps something similar is happening to you and Ernst, where the issue is with some specifics of the better rendering.

What happens if either of you right click on some rendered TeX here in this thread, and deselect Math Settings > Math Renderer > Fast Preview ?

another update I'm now done page 6 sorted by number of replies and PARI suggest by estimate I'm now roughly 52.2 percent through the posts in the hardware forum that are visible by forum defaults. only about another 40 or fewer work hours to go until I should have most of those scanned by eye ( or using find and advanced thread search) switched methods by increasing my setting to 97 instead of using the printer friendly, it had a few that seemed like they would and they wouldn't be also I had to do one thread at a time now I can in theory open a whole listed page of them at once and go through them, as they are of a length of under 25 replies now each.

Wow, all that work. When it would have been simpler to make it two dollars symbols ($$) instead of one ($). I expect there are far fewer posts with two consecutive $$ than there are one $.

I found one post with 5 in a row it's just not affected in fact a lot with 2 or more aren't affected . there would still be some affected edit: probably. I'm not all that worried only about 400 more to find in the hardware forum based on what percentage of the forum default I'm at. edit:BTW I suspect it still would be easier but I leave that decision up to the admins. oh and another thing 2 also works it's just indented. edit4: it's actually not hard to find the majority of them and in theory Xyzzy knows how many there are altogether for posts with a dollar sign and if no duplicates exist among my file that I have on my computer and what I've sent him since clearing my Sent folder I've already found 642 over 100 of which have been fixed at last check. over 400 of those were found in the hardware forum in the lengthiest threads.

Except that two dollar symbols in a row are already being used for "non-inline" MathJax content.

These are the default delimiters that TeX files use, which is why apparently it is so desirable to use them.

I note that for "inline" MathJax content, there are actually two choices that have been enabled:

1. a single dollar sign for the beginning delimiter and also as the ending delimiter
2. a backslash left-parenthesis for the beginning delimiter and backslash right-parenthesis for the ending delimiter.

Okay, I clearly didn't read this thread properly. And $ since $ I don't see anything with this $ new fangled engine $ I have no idea if $$ things are messed up or not $$.

But I do think that using a single $ symbol is not the best of ideas. It has other common uses also, the most obvious of which is for currency. So where is my $1,000,000?

http://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/tex.html here the fun read for everyone.

I realize now my counts using what I send Xyzzy aren't likely accurate because it counts the quick reply as well. either way I sent at least another 59 today.

Editing all of these messages would go a lot faster if the messages themselves were boring. We keep drifting away from the editing mode to reading mode!

sorry I'm overly talkative:

it looks like that drops the count significantly. I'm not sure I copied in all that I sent but I think it was the find search I was doing to find out how many http where in the page that went wrong. 486 is the new number. someone could try the software or programming forums maybe.
