Notice the text going overboard.
The actual text is shown as bitmap. Probbably some bug in whatever software transforms text to bitmap.

That above is this in wrapped in a "tex" tag:

That's the intended behaviour of the [search]TeX language[/search].

And it is not a bug?

No, it's intended. :) TeX is a markup language meant to output mathematical formulas. Hard line breaks are stripped from our TeX rendering system.

If someone is trying to write a complex mathematical formula, it would not make sense for hard line breaks to randomly be inserted because of the width of the DaniWeb layout. Additionally, because TeX markup is translated into a GIF image, there is no concept of browser-rendered soft returns.

On second thought ... there *IS* a workaround to this, but ... umm ... it's up to blud. :)

ppl should know not to use tex tag like here.

Edit: Wait a minute.. someone removed the tags

TeX tags removed. When you come across something like that, report the post so a mod can fix it :)

That typically doesn't happen b/c you kinda have to know tex code exists to use it. There's no button on the wysiwyg editor for it since it's intended for advanced users.

Oh what do you know! I *DID* create a button for it a long time ago and forgot.

I thought that it was a site-based bug...

Interesting!

Search tags!

Search tags have been here for a LOOOOONG time. No one uses them :(
