Latex newline incorrect rendering

[DrJimFan]

Markdown code:

Let $\delta$ be a three-way switch between experiments: $$
\begin{cases}
0, & Eval^0 \\
1, & Eval^1 \\
2, & Rand \mbox{: truly random function}
\end{cases}
$$

In pandoc mode, the WYSIWYG renders incorrectly as:

But the converted and compiled latex looks fine

I think that the online HTML renderer needs double newlines (\\\\). I don't know why and would welcome a PR that solves it.

[DrJimFan]

The workaround corrects the HTML rendering, but the converted latex would have \\\\ as well, which results in double blank lines.

[yoavram]

That's true. This is a bug in the renderer. As I said, I would welcome a PR that fixes the bug.

A quick and dirty solution would probably mean adding a preconversion hook in markx.js, under the /* markdown*/ section. There are several hooks already implemented, and thus new one should probably conver // to ////.

A nicer solution would be to figure out why the 3rd party markdown to html converter does it in the first place. Maybe open an issue with the converter authir; maybe it's a known bug that was already fixed and markx should use a newer version of the converter or change to a different one.

I see. Thanks for the tips! I'm not familiar with js, so it will take me some time to figure out.

Hi, Is it fixed?

[yoavram]

No

[RoyiAvital]

Hi, Are you still developing it? Because it is great bu today I couldn't make a Commit to GitHub.

Thank You.

[yoavram]

I am not actively developing markx, but I am accepting pull requests. You can't commit directly to my repo, you need to fork it, commit to your own repo, and open a pull request. See here: https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/

[RoyiAvital]

No, What I meant is when I used it on line version and tried editing MD file on GitHub repository (My own) I couldn't commit the changes of the MD file.

I wish I knew how to fix things.

There are no other on line services for MD which integrates with GitHub. I wish those 2 bug would be fixed so I could use it.

Thank You.

I see, please try to open a new issue and report the problem you are having with committing. Include a detailed explanation, including which browser you are using and an example of MD text and filename you are using. Open developer tools (on chrome or firefox ctrl+shift+j) to see what if any errors are raised and report them in the issue. If you can, check if the problem also occurs when running markx on your local machine.
