When I try to render it all I get is a blank pink screen. Is there an error in the code?
It depends on the email reader that you may be copy the formula from. Because in Thunderbird, it changes exponential numbers into superscripts. For example:
z=b*(z^2*fn1(z^(a)+b))+c
You may or may not see the "^" (carat symbol) between the "z" and "2".
Sincerely, P.N.L.
I believe Paul's suggestion might be the key (I'm a long-time user of Thunderbird and noticed the problem in the past too). There is a line of code: z=b*(z^2*fn1(z^(a)+b))+c and copying it from Thunderbird you get: z=b*(z2*fn1(z^(a)+b))+c rendering the image from this variant seems to fit Jack's description. Jack, although you see the carat there: z^(a) you might be missing the one that actually gets stripped: z2 should read... z^2 Replacing z^2 with z*z should be client-neutral and seems to generate the same result (I didn't compare the final images yet). Maybe a unified list of formulae packed as a small file sent once in a while or downloadable from a webpage would solve the problem? Ted
