under script/ over script

[Nobody/Anonymous]

Hi, great program, but I consistently get a problem with using the over- and under-script operator. Using it gives the same results as subscript/super-script so that
∑¦h¸M ∑‡h¸M produces the same results.

Any thoughts appreciated
Thanks
Matthew

Hi,

This may happen if your equation is in Inline Display type. Try changing your equation type to block, through the equation menu.

Thanks for your complement,
Tom.

Thanks Tom,
This does fix the problem for single line equations but not when the the under/over operator is needed in either a denominator or numerator using an 'over' operator. For example the following code P(Y◟i = m) = ‹exp(Z◟‹mi›)›/(1 + ∑‡‹h = 2›¸M exp(Z◟‹hi›)) produces the correct layout when presented on a single line, but if the '/' (division slash)is replaced with the (over) slash it doesn't. (The Unicode-ASCII ◟ here are subscripts).

I can now output the right equation, which is a definite improvement, but any further ideas on how to fix the last step would be great!
Thanks again
Matthew

MathCast uses Mozilla's rendering engine, and sometime it decides that it's best to display a given statement a certain way.

I have found a workaround though, type ‹∑›‡‹h = 2›¸M (put blocks around the sigma, that will force it to display the way you want).
