Thread: What LaTeX problems are you having?

Seems okay. Any specific problems about LaTeX?

-Dan

I had trouble earlier today with a piecewise function. Using the example code:

f(x)=\begin{cases}
x^2 && x\ne0 \\
1 && x=0 \\
\end{cases}

I get:



Other than that, I haven't experienced any problems.

It is recommended to write the formula in one line and insert spaces after every, say, 50 or 60 non-space characters

That is very helpful, although I can't quite get it to work yet:

f(x)=\begin{cases}x^2 \&& x\ne0 \\1 \&& x=0 \\ \end{cases}

What are you trying to achieve? The field separator on a line is "&" not "\&" (or "\&&") which renders as &

[tex]f(x)=\begin{cases}x^2, & x\ne0 \\1, & x=0 \\ \end{cases}[/tex]

renders as:

I see, I am used to the rendering on another site...I appreciate you showing me how it works here!

It has little to do with the site, it is normal LaTeX.
