Description Robert Milson 2006-04-19 22:11:20 UTC
Instead of displaying math tags the system shows a message

Failed to parse (Can't write to or create math output directory):

Currently this affects a numerous minority of mathematics-related entries. Examples:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilinear_operator
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cramer%27s_rule


Here is an example of a <math> tag behaving normally

Comment 1 Rob Church 2006-04-19 22:23:27 UTC
Purging seems to clear this up. Append action=purge to the URL of affected
pages, which forces them to be re-rendered.
