Is this working yet or what:
[Unable to write template]
It is! It is working!!!
[Unable to write template]
Hmm… what about non-centered [Unable to write template] … cool.
How about with a label:
[Unable to write template]
So we see in Eq. 1 that …
The answer to the $64000 question is "Euler's identity".

Because the $LatexSingleDollars flag has been set to 1, most of the Metamath pages are broken because of its $d, $a, etc. tokens. Would it make sense to set this flag back to the default (double dollar)? (Also, any discussion of PM budgets etc. may be problematic for newcomers who haven't learned the nowiki workaround.) --norm 27 Oct 2006
We could do that. I'm kind of partial to $-syntax, so what I've done is make the $ parsing stricter: now the entire math expression has to be on one line, so you can get away with one unprotected dollar sign per line.
If we continue to have problems, I could disable it.
(That's one line of source, by the way: you can introduce extra newlines in your source to sparate a bunch of variables on line, as in $a, $b, $c, $d, …, in order to print them all without causing dollar signs to pair.)

Well, it is nice to be able to indent nested parts of a formula to help build it correctly and for source readability for anyone who later edits it. My co-author and I tend to do that in our LaTeX papers, even for in-line expressions unless they are simple. Maybe other people could relate how they feel about it.
Alternately, is some simple escape possible for regular $'s, like \$ (backslash $), in place of the verbose [nowiki]$[/nowiki]? That would be consistent with the "LaTeX philosophy" of the single $.

I spent some time looking for exactly some such escape in whtever Oddmuse documentation I could find, but I had no success. Aside from the nowiki thing, which is clumsy, the only thing I could come up with was usng an ampersand along with the ascii code which is not much more elegant. Perhaps the thing to do here would be to contact whomever wrote the package to suggest adding such a thing to future versions --rspuzio
By the way, insisting that both dollar signs be on the same line is not so good either because it is easy to run into lengthy TeX code even for relatively short pieces of math such as "[Unable to write template]" which I typeset recently and already takes a full line . I really will have to contact the author of the package about this and plan to do so in the next few days. --rspuzio
