→Leading and trailing spaces in <math> tags contents makes formulae invisible in OS X Safari & Chrome
Line 595:
::: I agree in part. The rendering problem arises from the inability of ''some'' browsers (that are in error in this respect) to not render whitespace correctly (or maybe in better wording, to not ignore/process whitespace correctly). But I agree with you in that removing that particular whitespace at this point (until the <big><nowiki> <math> </nowiki></big> support/code is fixed) would be the prudent short-fix. Have you identified that it is the leading whitespace within <big><nowiki> <math> </nowiki></big> and/or the trailing whitespace? Also, can you give me some sort of tracking/bug number so I can follow the fixing/addressing of this browser bug? -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 20:08, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
:::: Introducing either a trailing or a leading white space results in the generation of html (from the space-flanked Latex expression) which does not display any formulae in Chrome or Safari on OS X. The existence of parallel bugs in Chrome and Safari is one hypothesis. Another would be that the the problem lies in the wiki software process which generates HTML code from the Latex expression. One would need to look at the difference between the HTML generated from plain and space-flanked Latex expressions. [[User:Hout|Hout]] ([[User talk:Hout|talk]]) 20:16, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
