Subject: Re: Bug: Another possible error for in-line math parsing
Date: Wed, 20 Oct 2010 12:25:28 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <AANLkTi=QjZSSHu9MmB=D04ySEQwHzH3E_GaK_+G-Y8Fo@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <AANLkTim86eChR0YVwxP_KUqDTs4wCVULMTZ6Xqoef_bq@mail.gmail.com>

BTW, I can confirm that this error does not occur in the block math
environment (wrapping the equations in escaped square brackets).
