Alignment of text with TeX formulas in bullet point

[s1gnature]

What I’m trying to do

I have some “displayed” tex formulas (using \displaystyle) put in some bullet points. In normal preview, everything works fine, i.e., the text is horizontally centered with the bullet point.

But when I turn on the Reading view, it’s no longer centered.

The markdown text for the above pictures:

- A displayed integral: $\displaystyle \int f(x)dx$.

Things I have tried

I have searched the forum but didn’t find any related topics.

May I ask how to get the reading view to display the formulas correctly?

Are all of your bullet points centered? If not, then it’s actually live preview being wrong I think.

That syntax should give you an inline equation, which should follow the formatting of the rest of the line. So if you want to have the lines normally justified, and the equation centered, you need to enter the finicky world of having cute blocks or in this case a math block within a list.

@holroy: You are wrong. Next time actually check it, instead of spreading misinformation.

The live preview mode centers the bullet point correctly, while only the reading mode messes it up. Given the live preview can do it correctly already, it seems to be very realistic, that it can be fixed.

Live Preview and Reading mode has some nuanced differences. However, you can always tweak stuff using CSS.

Targeting LaTeX blocks in bullet list items could be a start.

This should be in the “bug” category rather than in “help”, is it possible to move this thread somehow?

You could see if this CSS suits you. It keeps text aligned with the list points by moving where the math is displayed when there’s an integral symbol.

.markdown-reading-view mjx-math:has(.mjx-lop) {
	vertical-align: sub;
}

Seems to work fine for displaystyle tall math too, but I’ve not checked every possibility. As a result, the equation appears slightly lower than before.
