I recently wrote my first maths article on WordPress using the 'default' JetPack Beautiful Math feature.
First of all WordPress just really messed up... All LaTeX in my RSS feed is an img with a src that doesn't exist.
So when this got pulled to CodeProject it was just a mess with missing images.

Anyone knows why WordPress messes this up and how I can pull to CP without worrying about markup?
Beautiful Math uses the syntax $latex \somecode$ while CP has <span class="math">(\somecode)<span>.
I'm currently trying to fix my blog on CP, but it's taking some time. I really don't want to do this for all my blogs on maths... Dead | X|

There are two issues:

1. Your blog is emitting images instead of the Latex code. No idea how to get your blog to not pre-process the latex

2. The images that are linked to in your blog feed aren't being shown. Do you have some kind of check to ensure images aren't being included in off-domain pages? If so then removing this block will allow the images to show and your blogs will look fine again.

I think I see (part of) the problem...

The image in my feed shows as: http://sanderrossel.com//s0.wp.com/latex.php?latex=%5Cmathbb%7BZ%7D+%3D+%5C%7B...%2C+-3%2C+-2%2C+-1%2C+0%2C+1%2C+2%2C+3%2C+...%5C%7D&bg=ffffff&fg=000&s=0[^]
While the actual location is: http://s0.wp.com/latex.php?latex=%5Cmathbb%7BZ%7D+%3D+%5C%7B...%2C+-3%2C+-2%2C+-1%2C+0%2C+1%2C+2%2C+3%2C+...%5C%7D&bg=ffffff&fg=000&s=0[^]

The image in my feed is non-existant and de-formed... (http://sanderrossel.com//...).
I'm going to contact WordPress about this issue.

My blog is ok now though. Spent a good hour replacing all the LaTeX code Dead | X|

Chris,
I've just taken another look at it and it seems my RSS feed[^] is actually pointing toward the correct URL's: //s0.wp.com/latex.php?some_formula
Here on CP it points to: http://sanderrossel.com//s0.wp.com/latex.php?some_formula though.
So it seems http://sanderrossel.com is prepended by CP.
Is this a bug?

Thanks.

Turns out there was a bug. All fixed, but even so, some of the images just aren't rendering. For istance, "//s0.wp.com/latex.php?latex=%5Clambda+%5Cnotin+E&bg=ffffff&fg=000&s=0" is just a black box for me.

Thanks for the fix! Big Grin | :-D

The link is displaying fine for me... Lambda not in E.
Maybe we should see how my next blog will work out?

Article or Tip/Trick?

Hi all,

Just published this:
Interactive Fun with Multidimensional Data[^]

It refers to a javascript control I developed, and explains how to use it. I created it as an article but someone moved it to Tips/Tricks. The code is on GitHub so there is no code included in the article. Since it is not about using some other library but rather a component I thought is should be an article rather than a Tip/Trick.

Can someone help me with that?

Best,

Asher

error while trying to write an article...

Asher, from your description here, I had high hopes that the link would take me to something that provided rich detail on how you created your control; showed your code in-depth and really covered your thought processes when you created it. Perhaps you would cover the tradeoffs in your design and give me a real insight into exactly how your control came to be. Sadly, it's less than two screens long when you take out the image at the start of the "article". Whoever changed the type was right; this is, at best, a tip/trick.

Also, you have broken one of the cardinal rules on CodeProject. Never put an article up with just a link to github. The site owners would prefer that you included a copy of the code as it existed when the article was created - that way, if you ever decide to pull the github project, there will still be a copy of the code here that people can play around with and get an understanding of, instead of a dead link. By all means, also include a link to your github project, but have your downloadable code hosted here.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Much like a dog, sometimes the blog aggregator just eats and eats and eats as though it can't get full.

I took a look through the latest and destroyed the duplicates.
