In this answer On a proof of the existence of tubular neighborhoods. and Neil Strickland's answer here Is the counit of geometric realization a Serre fibration? the laTex is not displaying correctly (in Firefox version 21.0). Oddly, it looks fine after I click the edit button. Anyone know what's going on? In the second case, I'm pretty sure it looked fine earlier today, before the upgrade.

    $\begingroup$ I have been using backticks a lot in answers, questions and comments and now they render incorrectly. Will it be possible to fix this problem automatically? There are too many of them to do it by hand. $\endgroup$ Jun 25, 2013 at 10:21

    $\begingroup$ If I remember the original discussion, the backticks were supposed to be fixed automatically. Did something go wrong? $\endgroup$ Jun 25, 2013 at 11:48
  • $\begingroup$ For example my answer mathoverflow.net/questions/104866/… is completely messed up. I'm not sure whether this is a problem with backticks. I think I used them when I wrote this answer but I don't see them when I look up the source now. $\endgroup$ Jun 25, 2013 at 18:25

Weirdly, I managed to fix Neil Strickland's answer by editing it to remove whitespace from the end of the post.

I fixed your answer by removing the backticks and changing the backslash-brackets to double-dollar-signs. I think the new system doesn't play nicely with backslash-brackets.

EDIT: See also the discussion here.

Here is another question which doesn't display correctly (but whose preview on editing does): Algebraic closure as a fibrant replacement?

  • $\begingroup$ Apparently the underscore in the subscript \mathfrak{m}_i was interpreted as the beginning of an _italics_ sentence. I was able to fix it by surrounding the subscript by braces, i.e., writing \mathfrak{m}_{i} instead. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @Martin: Can you try your magic on this question, too: mathoverflow.net/questions/134142 ? The problem seems similar. $\endgroup$ Jun 25, 2013 at 17:51
  • $\begingroup$ @FrancoisZiegler: The magic is to make any sort of a trivial edit to the post (such as adjusting whitespace), then it takes care of itself. $\endgroup$ Jun 25, 2013 at 18:16
  • $\begingroup$ @Emil: I see. Thanks for fixing it! $\endgroup$ Jun 25, 2013 at 18:19
