(epsilon, F_alpha_2, epsilon) rightarrow (F, alpha_1)

There are a lot of formulas that break down with no apparant reason. For instance the previous sample works on http://www.codecogs.com/latex/eqneditor.php

I use WP Latex plugin set with the wordpress.com Latex server.

Really frustrating. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

  1. Try (epsilon, F_{alpha_2}, epsilon) rightarrow (F, alpha_1). This should work.

    LaTeX does complain about the F_alpha_2 part. It does not know if you want to have F_{alpha 2} (i.e. alpha and 2 on the same lavel) or F_{alpha_2} (alpha and a subscribt2 within the subscript).

    If you do not surround the subscript part with { and }, LaTeX takes only the next sign as subscript. But since you want two signs in subscript (alpha and 2), you have to parenthesize it somehow.
