Could someone take a look? (P.S. the same statement worked OK for me on Wikipedia). --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 05:37, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

I'm in the process of adding a new Rosetta Code (draft) task, and I'm trying to use
the &nbsp; ''' <nowiki> <math> </nowiki> ''' &nbsp; that is near the top of the Wikipedia entry for '''Leonardo numbers'''.
 
The Wikipedia article is at: &nbsp; &nbsp; [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonardo_number Leonardo number].
 
Here is the HTML code that I'm trying to use, it is (part of) an '''exact''' copy of what the Wikipedia page has:
<pre>
 
:<math>
L(n) =
\begin{cases}
1 & \mbox{if } n = 0 \\
1 & \mbox{if } n = 1 \\
L(n - 1) + L(n - 2) + 1 & \mbox{if } n > 1 \\
\end{cases}
</math>
 
</pre>
 
When I try to ''preview'' &nbsp; it &nbsp; (via the '''show preview''' button), &nbsp; it causes the Rosetta Code server to "hang" (after saying it is "connecting...", and then after about 150 seconds or so, (apparently) times-out.
 
 
Error 524 Ray ID: 35f9cf1f868c2a25 • 2017-05-15 23:18:49 UTC
A timeout occurred
 
 
Is the Wikipedia software ahead of the stuff that Rosetta Code uses?
 
Or, to put it another way, is the Rosetta Code stuff back-level?
 
For a &nbsp; '''<nowiki> <math> </nowiki>''' {cases} &nbsp; example that works, you can view: &nbsp; [http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Ackermann_function Ackermann function].
 
I've tried to take out various whitespace(s) and other stuff, but I'm causing Rosetta Code to "soft-crash" a lot of times, so I thought it would be better to find out what's going on from the horse's mouth, so to speak.
 
Any thoughts what the problem is? &nbsp; -- 23:33, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
 
 
... Just in case you're not familiar with the above idiom:
 
(straight) from the horse's mouth: from someone who has the facts.
"Are you sure she's leaving?"
"Definitely, I heard it straight from the horse's mouth."

::Thanks for the prompt reply. It seems I'm wrong in thinking that the source could be meaningfully displayed on RC so I'll let it go then. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 05:35, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
:::Sorry that it doesn't really work well here. Can you still use the source to help you answer the question? I can try to help if you need a specific part of the source explained. What was the question? --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 16:35, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
 
::Oh there's no further issue with stack overflow - I put a link to the site in my answer. Its for them to read the RC page including the Java example, or not. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 18:01, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
 
== Much obliged. ==
 
Thanks for taking the time to "go through the motions" for LOLCODE. I planned to create the page once I'd written up a brief overview of the language, but having a starting point's always nice. : )
:You're welcome. Go ahead and fill it in whenever you want. I'll be there to help you wiki-fy things and add some of RC's lesser-known templates where appropriate. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 14:19, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
 
== adding to watchlist ==
(Since you're an administrator)
 
Today, I got an error (the 1st time I ever saw this error message) &nbsp; when I tried to add something to my "watchlist", I got the error (in a pink box):
 
 
<big>
An error occurred while changing your watchlist settings for "xxxxxxx".
</big>
 
 
I was logged on, <strike>off</strike> of course.
 
I logged off (and closed my FireFox browser), and then logged back on. &nbsp; Same error.
 
Any ideas? (If this isn't the right place to report problems, let me know the correct location). &nbsp; &nbsp;

Never mind, it's working now. &nbsp; Perhaps something was too busy/overloaded or some such? &nbsp; &nbsp; -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 22:40, 21 August 2019 (UTC)
 
A further never mind. &nbsp; I found the problem. &nbsp; If a user (userid) is currently logged on, I can't seem to add that userid to my watchlist. &nbsp; So now, I just wait a hour or so and try again. &nbsp; &nbsp; -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 18:27, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
 
 
== Bytecode ==
 
I noticed that you were the (original) author for the Rosetta Code page &nbsp; <big> '''https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Bytecode''' </big> &nbsp; and on that page, there is an error generated when ya click on the link &nbsp; <u>virtual machine</u> &nbsp; &nbsp; (which is within the 2<sup>nd</sup> sentence within parentheses). &nbsp; I don't know who entered the text that causes the error (shown below).
 
 
The error that I see is &nbsp; (and the only thing on the resultant webpage):
 
<big><big> Exception encountered, of type "RuntimeException" </big></big>
 
 
I know not of how to fix or correct the problem. &nbsp; &nbsp; -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 00:53, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
