Description Michael M. 2012-05-15 09:00:55 UTC 
texvc translates all % to \%, but MathJax doesn't, so every formula with a % sign fails.
Comment 1 Derk-Jan Hartman 2012-06-02 11:37:36 UTC 
Hmm texvc does that ? I'm not sure we should support it. We have been adding quite a bit of non-tex compliancy into texvc it seems. It's giving me second thoughts because it's a lot of compatibility issues that we are opening ourselves up to.
Comment 2 Derk-Jan Hartman 2012-07-03 07:42:40 UTC 
"LaTeX use the percent sign ( % ) to indicate comments; everything from % to the end of the line is ignored."
Comment 3 Derk-Jan Hartman 2012-07-03 07:43:10 UTC 
char	 literal	special meaning (unescaped)	  	  	 char	 literal	special meaning (unescaped)
%	 \%	 introduces a comment	  	  	 ^	 \^	 introduces a superscript in math mode
#	 \#	 introduces macro's formal parameters	  	  	 _	 \_	 introduces a subscript in math mode
$	 \$	 math-mode delimiter	  	  	 {	 \{	 begin a group
&	 \&	 data separator in tables	  	  	 }	 \}	 end of group
~	 \~	 non-breakable space in text	  	  	 \	 \backslash	 begins a command
