I hope this helps! :-)

Can you ask someone from the Theme team have a look at this?

@justjennifer: Yes, I've reported this to them in my previous reply, and I'm waiting to hear back.

img.latex {
border: none;
vertical-align: -20%;
}

'img.latex {
border: none;
vertical-align: -20%;
}'

Apparently, then, we will have to wait until the Theme team corrects this.

The call to latex.php includes a parameter bg which specifies the background color for the image. Changing the parameter to use white as the background color produces the desired result:

The alignment of the image is a separate issue and needs to be solved by tweaking the theme's CSS.

@bryanvillarin-Can you ask someone from the Theme team have a look at this? If it is, as Panos' mentioned above two weeks ago, a problem with the CSS, perhaps there is a simple fix? Thanks.

Thanks for the report, and I'm sorry for the hassle. We'll take a closer look and reply to this forum thread with updates.

If you don't want to change your theme, there's a temporary work-around. Click on the Text tab in the WordPress visual editor and enter this HTML:
<br /> CO<sub>2</sub><br />
It will render the chemical formula for carbon dioxide correctly in the Sight theme.

LaTeX problem still evident on this post http://thehexagonlavish.wordpress.com/2012/09/14/you-wanna-go-to-mars/

Please be patient until a staff person can help. There are quite a few posts which have pending needs for attention from staff.

One of the major problems encountered in time travel is not that of becoming your own father or mother. […] The major problem is simply one of grammar, and the main work to consult in this matter is Dr. Dan Streetmentioner's Time Traveler's Handbook of 1001 Tense Formations. It will tell you, for instance, how to describe something that was about to happen to you in the past before you avoided it by time-jumping forward two days in order to avoid it. The event will be descibed differently according to whether you are talking about it from the standpoint of your own natural time, from a time in the further future, or a time in the further past and is futher complicated by the possibility of conducting conversations while you are actually traveling from one time to another with the intention of becoming your own mother or father. Most readers get as far as the Future Semiconditionally Modified Subinverted Plagal Past Subjunctive Intentional before giving up;

You did see the LaTeX support doc? http://en.support.wordpress.com/latex/ There are a couple of reference docs at the very bottom which might help.

$latex CO_2$

Is that correct?
