::::: I tried that on a preview of this Superellipse page and I could not see the rendered math even with no spaces whatsoever in the math markup. But if it makes you happy, go delete some of those spaces... --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]]) 14:49, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
::::::: I did some cursory (and somewhat shallow) web searching for problems with Chrome, LaTeX rendering --- particularly the <big><nowiki> <math> </nowiki></big> blank/empty rendering, and other such symptoms. There are this and other problems that have been introduced with a new(er) version of Chrome, some have a work-a-round, but the problems are being addressed (as far as I can glean from the various articles), and, if indeed, the symptoms being seen are manifestations of the same problem(s). I uninstalled Chrome many ages ago when I had similar problems with it's (bad) rendering of various texts and especially some fonts. This latest go-around (here at Rosetta Code) seems to be focused on the "flanking" whitespace and the reversion of changes, and the describing of the symptom of the problem as making the formulae invisible (or more descriptive, the rendering of blanks). Some of the changes being reverted have been around for ''months'', leading me to believe that the problem probably lies with the recent changes to Chrome (and I presume, Safari). I wonder if the mere act of reverting the Rosetta Code pages to an earlier text bypassed (in and of itself) the problem in the newer version of Chrome? I've asked Mr. Hout previously if he reported the problem to Chrome and/or Safari peoples to have this particular problem addressed, and I also requested a bug or tracking number to follow this problem's resolution (nothing replied so far). If Chrome (and/or Safari) doesn't render the LaTeX (or whatever) correctly, maybe the Rosetta Code users of those browsers might be better served if they used FireFox (or <u>any</u> other browser that works) until the problem gets fixed by the code writers of those failing/broken browsers. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 17:55, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
:::::: Thanks. Restoring the formula code to the pre June 4 version has restored its visibility here. Are you seeing the same ? [[User:Hout|Hout]] ([[User talk:Hout|talk]]) 15:19, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

::::::: It does work for me, now, also. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]]) 15:22, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
:::::::: Toggling flanking space now proves sufficient to toggle formula visibility in OSX Chrome and Safari, but it looks as if some of Gerard's other spacing edits can also suppress visibility in the same contexts. In short, lost formula visibility can more consistently be restored by simply reverting the contents of the math tags to their state on the last date before the TOC spacing edits were undertaken.

::::::::: I don't understand what you mean by "looks like". It either does or doesn't. Could you be more specific what those contexts are before you lay blame on "other spacing edits"? I don't understand what TOC spacing has to do with this. I've been adding whitespace before the TOC for over a year and a half now. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 17:55, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
