[LON-CAPA-users] tex in loncapa

Hi Peter,

This output usually happens in inline mode.  Equation mode usually works 
fine without this weirdness:
<m>\[ STUFF \]</m>
However, I'm sure you don't want to use equation mode to just type one 
letter.  Equation mode adds space above and below the equation and 
centers it on the page.  I'd go with Lars suggestion of
<m display="jsmath">

For this, I would try equation mode.  That is:

<m>\[ f(x)=\left\{
\begin{array}{ll}
1 & \mbox{f\"ur} x>0\\
0 & \mbox{sonst}
\end{array}
\right.
\]</m>
