Formulae now invisible on standard OS X browsers

May need tidying up to achieve formula visibility on the OS X platform. Problems may include flanking of LateX expressions with redundant white space inside <math> tags Hout (talk) 13:29, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

Not all OSX browsers, so far I have only seen the problem with Safari and Chrome. This is not limited to math markup, though - I have been seeing many many images fail to load under Safari. Perhaps we should be recommending that OSX users switch to Firefox? --Rdm (talk) 13:34, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
I don't think so - the problem is new and quickly fixed - pruning back the newly-introduced redundant spaces will restore visibility on the major browsers on that platform. If we do want to understand the etiology, the we probably need to look at the Latex -> HTML stage of the wiki software. But the experimental result is already clear. Adding that space adds nothing for the users, but does prevent significant numbers from seeing the formulae. Hout (talk) 13:42, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
