I thought we needed 5? I'll put some effort in (soonish) and join you.

Great job anyhow, well done and keep it up. :)

@jhabbott Thanks.

There's not really a quota. But we do like numbers.

Is it just me, or is the MathJax is Chris and initram's answers to this question not displaying properly?

It looks fine to me

@Air Both answers look fine to me. Do you mean the MathJax used to center the pictures?

If it isn't displaying properly in your browser, then it will likely happen to others. Since the goal was to make the answers look better, rather than worse, the MathJax should probably be removed.

I took the idea from one of the comments on this meta post.

@ChrisMueller Yeah - I know it was working fine yesterday, because I saw your edit that added the image and didn't see any wonky MathJax. But now it looks like this:

Hmm, that is strange.

In any case, I'm not sure it's a good idea to use an absolute pixel offset for this purpose

I found a meta post about centering images (meta.stackexchange.com/questions/25835/…). It suggests using an absolute offset with HTML.

I don't love it, but I've always hated the way images are rendered as left-justified in a post.

err... left-aligned

Look at it this way: Left-aligned images will be visible at any resolution. But as soon as you introduce an absolute offset, you introduce a dependency on your particular resolution - it won't be centered on other people's monitors, and in the worst case scenario you'll actually break the layout for someone.

Until we get a built-in solution for centering images, this is a very hacky workaround that could cause problems without solving any, IMO

True. Is   a fixed pixel width?

Even with Latex, it would probably be better to use a measured distance. I wonder if the \textwidth tag is available, probably not.

Non-breaking space is a character in a font

So it depends on the font, but essentially yes, it's an absolute pixel spacing

Well darn.

Trying to center things on the web is like opening Pandora's box, in my experience

Though hopefully the status quo has improved since I last spent time on that problem, some 10 years ago

Ok, I'll edit those posts to remove it.

I just wish there was some means of better incorporating images. Sigh....

@ChrisMueller Feature request time? I'm not sure if one exists already on MSE for centering.

Massive conspiracy! Cover-ups! Illuminati! (removed)!

For the peanut gallery, these are Jokes.

A priest, a rabbi and an engineer walk into a bar. The bartender says, "What's an engineer doing in this joke?" at which point they are all deleted from the universe and moved to a private chat room.

Laugh, smallfolk! Laughs for the laugh god!

Anyone object to referring to the frame in this question as a "T-frame?" I feel like that's how I would refer to it, and people would generally understand what is meant, but I'm not sure how standard it is

Aaaand now MathJax just isn't rendering at all for me.

Both IE and Chrome.

I see no reason to object, though I'm not familiar with the field.

Hooray, MathJax inexplicably started working again.

Wow, I'm gone for a day and the chat room is filled with deleted posts. I feel as if I have missed ... nothing.

@Air "T-frame" seems reasonable. It is at least descriptive.

I have doubts that someone will end up searching for that same question in the future though.
