I said above that \\ (double backslash followed by a space) is harmless. However, that statement was not correct. It actually creates a new line when mathjax is rendered using CSS or using SVG. Interestingly, when using mathml to render mathjax in at least two browsers, it appears that \\ is simply ignored and does not create a new line.

| Sep 5, 2013 at 19:55 | comment | added | Todd Trimble | @PietroMajer: many thanks for your response! I understand your own annoyance. Hopefully Ricardo's request can be implemented. | |
| Sep 5, 2013 at 19:43 | comment | added | Pietro Majer | Hi everybody, I noticed your messages and I understand now the terrible effect of my recent minor edits (I always keep the "newest" list and noticed nothing). Anyway, my excuses for the trouble! This afternoon I had some free time and thought to fix the format of old posts of mine once and for all (after the recent upgrade of the system, the // does not produces a space anymore, but breaks the lines, which is somehow annoying). Cheers, P. | |
| Sep 5, 2013 at 18:56 | comment | added | Todd Trimble | @RicardoAndrade Heh. It was good while it lasted. (Actually, I'm rather surprised, as I even went so far to flag one of the edited answers to get moderator attention, and figured the hiatus in activity was due to a discreet request from a moderator). | |
| Sep 5, 2013 at 18:17 | comment | added | Ricardo Andrade | @Todd Trimble: Let us hope that the developers pay attention to the request... By the way, for the record, there has been no new edit by Pietro Majer in the last 25 minutes. | |
| Sep 5, 2013 at 18:13 | comment | added | Todd Trimble | @RicardoAndrade: Thank you! That's a good request. | |
| Sep 5, 2013 at 17:49 | comment | added | Ricardo Andrade | In the meantime, I also left a comment in one of Pietro's recently edited answers, as Todd Trimble and Yemon Choi did before me. As it stands now, the front page consists mostly (~35/50) of posts with answers which have been edited by Pietro less than two hours ago. | |

After analysing a few of Pietro's edits, it appears he is mostly replacing double backslashes \\ in mathjax: this seems to now be non-functioning, yet harmless, code. In an attempt to prevent this from happening again in the future, I bumped my request to automatically fix these minor mathjax issues to the top, and turned it into a feature request.

| Sep 5, 2013 at 16:32 | comment | added | Todd Trimble | @TheMaskedAvenger I did that. No response. | |
| Sep 5, 2013 at 16:30 | comment | added | The Masked Avenger | Perhaps a comment on one of his answers might get quicker results? Hey, @Pietro! Slow down please! | |
