   Format: MarkdownItexThis is a continuation of a thread ending with [Mike's comment here](http://www.math.ntnu.no/~stacey/Mathforge/nForum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3454&Focus=28329#Comment_28329). I tried changing my itex mode (it was set to 'auto', I think), and of all the options only png showed some semblance of the intended rendering of \preceq and \sslash in the nForum (they showed as they do in my Google Reader, which is say not quite right, but I can read them). But this mode didn't do the trick when I applied it to the nLab page [[stabilizer group]]. (Don't know if this comment is at all helpful from a diagnostic standpoint.)

   Format: MarkdownItexWell, the settings in the nForum don't affect anything on the nLab, I think, which always and only uses MathML. Your experience confirms what I expected, but now we're at the point where someone more knowledgeable will have to step in.

   Format: MarkdownItexI have no idea about the cause or solution to this problem. (It works well on my machine, for a change.) But in any case, since this will affect more people, if this problem persists, we should remove the problematic characters from the entry for the time being, and replace again with the uglier but readable workarounds.

   Format: MarkdownItexMike is right, the nForum settings have nothing to do with the nLab (though my plan is to modify the nForum rendering to be more like the nLab's - once the semester has settled down!). nLab : If the software detects a MathML-capable browser (currently Firefox or IE+MathPlayer) then it sends MathML. : Otherwise, it *still* sends MathML, but loads MathJaX which converts the MathML into HTML+CSS nForum : If the user has expressed a preference, it obeys that preference, : If the software detects a MathML-capable browser (currently Firefox or IE+MathPlayer) then it sends MathML. : Otherwise, it sends a png image of the maths. (There is an option to send SVG, which has the advantage over PNG of being scalable, but is not supported by all browsers.)

   nLab

   If the software detects a MathML-capable browser (currently Firefox or IE+MathPlayer) then it sends MathML.

   Otherwise, it still sends MathML, but loads MathJaX which converts the MathML into HTML+CSS

   nForum

   If the user has expressed a preference, it obeys that preference,

   If the software detects a MathML-capable browser (currently Firefox or IE+MathPlayer) then it sends MathML.

   Otherwise, it sends a png image of the maths. (There is an option to send SVG, which has the advantage over PNG of being scalable, but is not supported by all browsers.)
