That didn't work either.
But in the meantime I finally stumbled on the solution. It turns out
that in the Math editor "stack" works only for items of *three or more*
and separated by #. If you want to stack two items then you use "binom"
without the #.
That is, when I changed it from "stack" to "binom" it worked. However,
I also have formulas in the same document with two items and "stack"
plus # worked fine. I think the issue is that "binom" is what you are
supposed to use, and if the stack is nested inside another stack you
*must* use "binom." A two-item stack by itself may be able to get away
with the "stack" syntax.
