OK, this seems to occur with the 'simple course page'. I created a 'Blank Web Page' and copied/pasted my html code from the 'simple course page', and the pdf rendered fine (using $).
I still would like a good explanation of $ and \[. -----Original Message----- From: lon-capa-users-boun...@mail.lon-capa.org [mailto:lon-capa-users-boun...@mail.lon-capa.org] On Behalf Of Carl Lira Sent: Wednesday, December 02, 2015 2:53 PM To: 'Discussion list for LON-CAPA users' <lon-capa-users@mail.lon-capa.org> Subject: Re: [LON-CAPA-users] FW: printing of math Hmm, I removed the $ before I send my inquiry. I could not recall why I had them inserted, so I removed them and it did not work with or without the $ - documentation needs to be improved about the function/need of the $ and \[ variants. I also tried using \[ and \], and that did not work either. Maybe something with my math rendering settings (currently set to MathJax)? This error is on a simple web page (I don't see a capability to envoke the mathjax editor on a simple web page). I manually inserted the <m> and/or $ \[ so the equation occurs within the <p> tag. I tried changing the spacing also in the event that a space was needed before/after the $ but that did not help. Can someone give me a good explanation of $ and \[?

Now, the question arises how to fix. In the interests of backward compatibility I would prefer that once working problems should also in the future... - Peter On 12/02/2015 04:25 PM, Damien Guillaume wrote: >> Why it is a bug?
