> [@Petek](#): > > inline? That’s currently broken. There is a thread discussing it here: > [@LaTeX support broken?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/latex-support-broken/978857): > > I was looking at a post of mine, and noticed that the LaTeX bits are all now on their own line instead of inline: Let me try this again. \pi, and \frac{1}{\pi}, and e^\pi are all supposed to be inline with the text here. Looks like they’re not, even though they used to be. I assume others see this also? Pinging @codinghorror . You can use **π** inline but you have to use the **π** character, not the Latex / MathJax version. ---

Thanks. I’m aware of the thread to which you referred. I’ve been trying to figure a way to get MathJax to display inline code. This: (\pi) is supposed to work, but doesn’t. ---

Hi @Bullitt Open google maps - I’ve picked Shoreham airport (I’m using a desktop, BTW) Top left corner of the screen there’s a box that says _ **Search Google Maps** _ - in that box, to the left of the text, there’s a symbol comprising 3 horizontal lines. Click on it to drop a menu down. About a third of the way down the menu, click on _ **Share or embed map** _; this opens up - let’s call it the share box. There are two options at the top of the box - _ **Share a link** _ and _ **Embed a map** _. Underneath we have _ **Link for sharing** _; under that is the link, and to the right a _ **Copy link** _ button. If you choose _ **Share a link** _, copy that link and post it here you get, you get this: [Google Maps](https://goo.gl/maps/8Zt324XzcHch63XA7). Click on the link to open the map. If you choose _ **Embed a map** _, copy that link (actually, it says HTML for _ **Embed a map** _) and post it here you get, you get this: https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m10!1m8!1m3!1d255.49856008523184!2d-0.290554443563034!3d50.83350550429441!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!5e1!3m2!1sen!2suk!4v1677594164929!5m2!1sen!2suk I did that in satellite view to illustrate something, but you can do it in map view just the same. Something weird that I have noticed in satellite view - if you _ **Share a link** _ you have a view from directly overhead. If you choose _ **Embed a map** _, you don’t - as is obvious in the image above. No idea why that is. j ---
