Yeah, looks like it broke this morning, and I just fixed it again. Having RSS imports with LaTeX and non-admin editors is a bit fickle at the moment (since we have to sanitize the HTML to avoid security vulnerabilities).
Oh, yeah, this happens when switching back and forth from the LessWrong editor to Markdown and vice-versa. Love if someone fixed it, also because in LessWrong editor I don’t know how or if you can make block equations—just inline ones.
Command + M for block equations (it says so in the help text that shows up in an empty LW editor text box).
And huh, I am surprised that LaTeX doesn’t translate correctly. I feel like I’ve used that recently. Can you ping us on Intercom with a context where it didn’t work?
Are the math formulas (= presumably LaTeX) in this post broken for everyone, or just for me? (That is, I see strings full of backslashes, like “ε”).

Sorry to create headache for you guys, thanks for handling imports!
No worries! Sorry for the fickleness. I just made a PR to handle non-admin editors more robustly.

Gah, I assumed this was some notation I’d never seen before. (Then again, even if this was written out in clear LaTeX I wouldn’t understand it.)
