Please be careful when using TeX/MathJax in Titles!

Please be careful when using TeX/MathJax in titles!

This is more on how not to use MathJax, but still good to keep in mind.

A good overview of why not to use do this is given here, but let me briefly summarize:

  1. Titles are usedvisible in places that do not render TeX!
  2. If you must describe your title with TeX, you probably aren't summarizing your question enough. Try to make a natural language title, that is usually possible and summarizes your question better.
  3. If you insist, then by all means, putuse TeX in the title. But don't pretend there is no problem and that there is nothere's always room for improvement. IMO, TeX in title is never nessecarynecessary and a sign that the title can be improved!
