You'll need, for example: \sqrt{x}

Hey! Who told you about that BBCode?

Right, I'm fixing the permissions on that now...

Yeah I was about to tell you about that on IRC.

Edit: The original problem (math mode didn't work) has been fixed.

A simple test: How does a2+b2=c2 render in math mode? a^2+b^2=c^2
Comment: A little bit fuzzy, but not bad.

How does y=mx+b render in math mode? y=mx+b
Comment: Once again, a little bit fuzzy, but not bad.



Let's stress the graphics work. Any aliasing problems here?

Symbols with sharp edges: \sum_{x=1}\sqrt x
Comment: The fat diagonal lines on the sum symbol, and the skinny diagonal line on the square root symbol render quite nicely.

Symbols with no sharp edges but lots of curves: \int_{\xi=0}^{\tau} e^{-\xi^2} d\xi
Comment: The integral symbol looks very nice.

Good question. This is on the urgent to-fix list.

Turns out that it was just a simple error. Now fixed, at least for new posts - you will need to edit your post to see changes.

Edit: Even unedited posts should now be working.

Let's see how the graphics work. Any aliasing problems here?

Symbols with sharp edges:

\sum_{x=1}\sqrt x

Comment: Very nice. The diagonal lines on the sum and square root symbols are nicely anti-aliased, but no so much so as to make them fuzzy.

Zoom:
[attachment=1725:sum_sqrt_test_zoom.tiff]



Symbols with no sharp edges but lots of curves: \int_{\xi=0}^{\tau} e^{-\xi^2} d\xi





Comment: Very nice. The diagonal lines on the sum and square root symbols are nicely anti-aliased, but no so much so as to make them fuzzy.

Zoom:

Comment: Very nice. The diagonal lines on the sum and square root symbols are nicely anti-aliased, but no so much so as to make them fuzzy.

Thanks :-) I spent quite a lot of time tweaking the image settings this time around so the output now looks quite nice.

What packages are loaded?

AMS LaTeX, and do we have begin/end environments?

\begin{aligned} a &= \phantom{0}6 \\ b &= \phantom{0}9 \\ ab&=42\end{aligned}

That works, very nice! (My math skills on the other hand appear to be inherited.) What other packages are loaded?

amsmath, amsfonts, amssymb, color, slashed and mhchem are in use. (mhchem is only used when you use the ce tags.) We can fairly easily add more to the list if they come with the LaTeX distribution or are easy to add.

We can basically add any package that's included in TeXLive 2009.
