Dec 31, 2019 at 10:55 comment added mjungmath I wonder what goes wrong in the non-smooth case?
Apr 21, 2012 at 22:22 comment added Theo Johnson-Freyd @Renato: The problem, of course, is that Markdown and LaTeX both consider braces special, and so to escape them you need a backslash. Markdown goes first, sees \{ , and replaces it with { , which is all MathJax sees. The solution is to put the entire paragraph between <p> ... </p> tags, which Markdown interprets as "don't process anything in this section". The cost is that you don't get to use any MarkDown syntax within the paragraph, so to make something bold (for example) requires <b> or <strong> or other html. <p> also protects underscores from Markdown, of course.

Apr 19, 2012 at 3:44 comment added Renato G. Bettiol I apologize for the weird formatting: my curly brackets seem not to work otherwise. I hope MathJax is rendering everything else without problems...
Apr 19, 2012 at 3:42 comment added Theo Johnson-Freyd I made purely formatting changes, to correct a conflict between MarkDown and MathJax. I hope I did not introduce any errors.
