Colons in front of equations
By the way, the colons in front of the tags are there for formatting purposes. A colon indents the line, and it has been decided in the Wikipedia Manual of Style that all equations on their own line should be indented once. &mdash; Laura Scudder &#9742; 04:07, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Then something is wrong. Because the equations are not being parsed correctly with these colons in front. The pages show parsing errors when these colons are present in

Firefox Internet Explorer Mozilla Konqueror

and display correctly without the colons.

Guess which one of us I believe?


 * Something is indeed wrong, but it has nothing to do with the colons. Parsing errors sometimes happen when the servers are having problems. Often, any edit will resolve these errors. Next time, you should perhaps try something else instead removing the colon, like adding a space at the end of a line, and see whether that helps. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 06:07, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
