Line 331:
:::::: Since it is now known that "flanked whitespace" causes ill-formed code in the Wiki pre-processor being used on Rosetta Code, then why don't those whitespace(s) be (solely/only) removed, and not change (remove) the use of larger fonts (larger fonts [using the BIG HTML tag] makes the formulae easier to read). Easier to read/peruse formulae was the whole intent of the changes in the first place. The baby is being thrown out with the bathwater. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 19:54, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
::::::: In most cases removing the flanking white space which you introduced proves sufficient to allow the MediaWiki to start generating syntactically correct code again. In some cases it does not prove sufficient to do that, but reverting the code to the state in was in before your edit '''does''' prove sufficient. More diagnostic work would doubtless reveal exactly what other aspects of your changes have proved unexpected or indigestible to the MediaWiki process, but all the work of diagnosing the problem, restoring visibility to these formulae, and, most time-consuming and exhausting of all, gradually overcoming your puzzling personal reluctance to accept and understand what has been happening, has already cost me more time than I can afford. It may be that in some cases the processor is unable to generate a graphic file as large as your double "big" tags are requesting, in the space in that it calculates to be available.
::::::: In short, I am doing the only the minimum required to restore the visibility to fomulae unintentionally hidden by your edits. I quite understand that it must be distressing to see some part of your work undone. I hope you can make the effort to understand that it might also be distressing to see the formulae vanishing entirely ... [[User:Hout|Hout]] ([[User talk:Hout|talk]]) 20:12, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
