Plenty of LaTeX errors

l.livnev — Sun, 23 Dec 2012 19:12:57 +0000

Creating a new article I kept getting LaTeX errors like this:

LaTeX processing error: math_failure (math_unknown_error):\frac{p}{q}

I left one error in the article I was making: Finding an interval for rational numbers with a high denominator I also found it impossible to typeset a piecewise function definition without getting a LaTeX error, I tried using two different ways, using \begin{array} and the \begin{cases} but neither worked. I searched around hoping to find a piecewise defined function in some other article, but found nothing.

When I click on the "Recent changes" link, I get a blank list. Today is the first day that this happened.

Strange error

gowers — Wed, 06 May 2009 12:41:38 +0000

My article To make a function nicer without changing it much, convolve it with an approximate delta function is doing very strange things – somehow too strange for me to be able to do just by typing in the LaTeX wrongly (not that I can see anything wrong with it). Is there some more serious bug?

Spacing

wilton — Mon, 04 May 2009 22:45:22 +0000

In New groups from old, the spacing of the text in the section Graphs of groups seems oddly squashed, compared to other sections. I don't think I'm imagining it (though it's certainly possible)! Any thoughts?

The article How to prove facts about finite groups by induction on the order is linked to from the page How to solve problems about finite groups. But when I click on View articles linking here, I only see Group theory front page (which also links there).

Redirecting

gowers — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 12:40:17 +0000

I don't know whether this is a bug or whether it's me, but I've just tried to get rid of a redirect symbol by changing the wording of the link, and the redirect symbol is still there. The link in question is on the page I have a problem about an infinite sum. If you click on "I want to calculate an infinite sum" you will find the link with the redirect symbol, which seems to give exactly the title of the article it links to (which I changed from an earlier title).

LaTeX inside references

JoseBrox — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 13:54:50 +0000

In the article Don't start from scratch, the following html code is not working properly:

([)ref Example #invertible_matrices: the set of invertible matrices is open]

(you can see the result at the article page)

After giving it a couple of tries, it seems like the LaTeX formula inside the refrence (or at the example title) is the problem.

Internal links to headings

gowers — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 00:09:51 +0000

I've tried to do this in the Group theory front page but I can't get it to work. I think that this is a bug rather than my stupidity, because I copied into the Sandbox exactly what it suggests in the formatting page, and I have the same problem: it treats what I write as a link to a nonexistent page.

User home pages

gowers — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 23:52:14 +0000

I've noticed that a number of users give links to their home pages or blogs, and when you click on them you get a page saying "This page does not exist on the Tricki." I haven't been able to guess why this is, or why it happens to some people and not others. But it would be nice if something could be done about it.

Editing Preview and Log comments

JoseBrox — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 15:43:46 +0000

When you edit an article, you have the option to write a Log comment to clarify what you have done. If you write one and then preview the result, the comment dissapears in the result page (so you have to write it again or go back to your first editing page).
