Multiline text in LaTeX
-
I am trying to insert multiline text using LaTeX into my WordPress blog, but I can’t figure it out. When I try to write a long sentence using the latex text{} command, instead of going on to the next line, the text shrinks to fit it into one line. I’ve tried various things, but I can’t get it to go to the next line and retain font size. As a sort of temporary fix, I’ve just separated my text into multiple text{} blocks, which always start on the next line, but this is not a solution and does not show up well on mobile devices. Would appreciate any assistance.
Ex:
$latex textbf{Definition. } text{A} textbf{ Sample Space } Omega text{ of an experiment is the set of all possible outcomes}$ $latex text{of that experiment.}$ $latex text{Ex: For a dice roll, } Omega text{ = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}; For a coin toss, } Omega text{ = {H, T}}$The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi –
Are you adding the LaTeX through the text editor or the visual editor? Is it happening in a browser or app?
Our LaTeX support guide is available at https://en.support.wordpress.com/latex/
And more resources for troubleshooting: https://www.latex-project.org/help/documentation/

I’m using the visual editor in a browser (Google Chrome). I looked at the support guide and documentation, but couldn’t figure out this problem.

Please look at Probability Theory 1. The issue becomes apparent when viewing on a mobile device.

Ok. Which mobile device are you using and browser type? Could you take a screen shot for me?
-
I’m on an iPhone and I have used multiple browsers (Chrome, Safari, the WordPress app, etc.). I do not believe this issue has to do with the device/browser, I am just not sure how to ensure that LaTeX text goes onto the next line without it shrinking. As a fix, I just separate it into multiple LaTeX blocks, as I showed in the original post, but it does not show up the same size on mobile devices and it is not a real fix. I am looking for a way to get the multi line text in LaTeX. I can’t post a screenshot on here.

I want to try and replicate your experience so that I can learn whether or not this is a bug. Do you mind telling me what device you are using and adding a screen shot to your media folder for me?
-
I apologize if I was being unclear. This is not a bug, I am simply looking for a way to type multi-line text in LaTeX. The program is performing as normal. In any case, I have added a screen shot to my media folder. I am using an iPhone 6S, but as I mentioned this is not a bug, I’m just looking for information.

To replicate my experience, you should try typing “A sample space is the set of all possible outcomes of an experiment.” using the LaTeX text command as follows:
$latex text{A sample space is the set of all possible outcomes of an experiment.} $You will see that the text shrinks rather than go to the next line. This is the problem I am trying to figure out.

Hi, sorry to bug you, but have you been able to figure out a solution? Would appreciate if you could let me know as soon as possible. Thanks.

Hi –
I am able to reproduce your experience with those instructions. This is not how it should appear on mobile. The mobile and desktop views should replicate the same formatting of the LaTeX. I’ve reported this internally, but for now I do not have a work around to adjust that line spacing.

The issue is not just on mobile, it is also on desktop. I just pointed you to the mobile version because it’s more easily visible. Please let them know that the issue applies to desktop as well.
