@Chau This is not a bug. LaTeX uses curly braces for grouping. To produce curly braces in the output, you need to precede them with a backslash:

$\{x,y\}$

I did put the backslash in but it is not rendered on this forum. Could you try it on your end? I apologize for this newbie question. Chau

This forum doesn’t support LaTeX math.
