Error using LaTeX

I've included an equation in my Site description using the maths tag, and I get this error when saving or previewing:

 

  • warning: touch(): Unable to create file /www/plus/html/MI/a209dbbb75f76f6e438526c23e65575d.md5 because No such file or directory in /var/www/drupal.conted.ox.ac.uk/sites/all/modules/druplastex/druplastex.module on line 49.
  • warning: file_get_contents(/www/plus/html/MI/a209dbbb75f76f6e438526c23e65575d/index.html): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/drupal.conted.ox.ac.uk/sites/all/modules/druplastex/druplastex.module on line 53.

 

The code I typed was:

{maths} y = a \cosh(\frac{x}{a}) {/maths}

with square braces instead of curly ones.

Hi, thanks for letting us know you've encountered a problem.

This was a misconfiguration which is now fixed. Should you find any other problems, please let us know.

Cheers,
Dave.

Close, but no cigar

I no longer get an error, but my LaTeX gets rewritten to

 y = a ()

and the maths tags go missing.

Hmm

I'll have another look...

Sorry for the delay...

As you may have seen, we've revamped the site and added a new equation system, called MathJax. Hopefully this new system won't struggle with some equations like the old one did.

Using MathJax is almost identical to the old system - with only a slight change (improvement) in delimiters - see the Editing guide for details.

Cheers,

 

Dave.
