Contest collection PDFs don't work when LaTeX is embedded within BBCode
Equinox8   5
N 24 minutes ago by jlacosta
This could very well be reported before, however a quick search did not find anything.

While embedding LaTeX commands within BBCode (like this: [i]text $\dfrac{1}{2}$ text[/i]) typically displays as intended within a forum, trying to render a contest collection using these commands breaks the PDF renderer.

As outlined in this (locked) post, the forum/blog creation message is out of date. It has been over a year since that post, and it still has not changed. I don't know if this got lost somewhere in the "passing this along" chain or if it was determined to be irrelevant, but it seems like a relatively simple fix ;)

Equinox8   1
N an hour ago by jlacosta
Somehow I broke the unique contest collection naming scheme; for what it's worth, I also ran into an AJAX timeout error while trying to make this particular post collection for the first time, and pressed "create" twice.

Not sure if there's anything to be done here, but are there potentially unforeseen consequences here?

Hey integration fans. I decided to collate some of my favourite and most evil integrals I've written into one big integration bee problem set. I've been entering integration bees since 2017 and I've been really getting hands on with the writing side of things over the last couple of years. I hope you'll enjoy!

Hello, everybody!

This is a differentiation marathon. It is just like an ordinary marathon, where you can post problems and provide solutions to the problem posted by the previous user. You can only post differentiation problems (not including integration and differential equations) and please don't make it too hard!

Have fun!
