Cosmetic edits made to the task page at 05:58, 24 July 2016 , including the injection of spaces around expressions in <math> tags, left the main expression completely invisible to all browsers which display the graphic file version of formulae rather than processing the MathML (this is, in fact, the majority of browsers). The MediaWiki processor does not currently expect such spaces, and generates syntactically ill-formed HTML if they are introduced. Other aspects of these cosmetic edits may further compound the problem. [[User:Hout|Hout]] ([[User talk:Hout|talk]]) 08:48, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

ooRexx gives me
 
5 *-* n=5** (4** (3** 2)) /*calc. multiple exponentations. */
Error 26 running Z:\huge.rex line 5: Invalid whole number
Error 26.8: Operand to the right of the power operator (**) must be a whole number; found "2.6214E+5"
Other Rexx-es don't??

No answer yet. numeric digits 6 at the start fixes the problem for ooRexx --[[User:Walterpachl|Walterpachl]] ([[User talk:Walterpachl|talk]]) 18:47, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
 
: Yes, Regina and R4 are both very lenient (liberal?) in their usage of exponents.
: Also, the (internal) subroutines of these REXXes may use a &nbsp; '''numeric digits 9''',
: thereby bypassing the use/limit of '''numeric digits 5''' &nbsp; (as in the older/replaced 2<sup>nd</sup> version). &nbsp; -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 18:31, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
