http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Grendelkhan/Scratch#Math_oddities. Wikitext: :<math>(a) = ba - ab = 0</math> :<math>a = ba - ab = 0</math> Output: <dd><span class="texhtml">(<i>a</i>) = <i>b</i><i>a</i> − <i>a</i><i>b</i> = 0</span></dd> <dd>a=ba-ab=0</dd> The variables aren't italicized or spaced properly; it doesn't mix well with equations which are rendered correctly.
This behavior can be changed using a user's preferences. The behavior is intended. To display properly spaced multi line formulas, use: <math> \begin{array}{lr} (a) & = ba - ab = 0 \\ a & = ba - ab = 0 \end{array} </math>
